To me, a slice of Banana Bread for breakfast is always a good idea! Firstly because I particularly like Banana Bread (well who doesn’t…?) but also because by adding oat flakes to the recipe you get a very complete version to wait until your lunch break.
It is certainly one of the most practical breaky as well! Mainly because it’s a breakfast that you can easily carry to the office for those busy mornings. In general, I like to prepare my Banana Bread on Sundays, freeze several portions and defrost them the night before.
All these reasons make it THE ideal breakfast!
For this version adapted for breakfast, I’ve decided to start from several recipes, including the ones from Mariza & Isadora (so yummy!) that I’ve tested and adapted to my tastes. So today, I detail below two versions: one chocolate/coconut and one with almonds. I can’t wait to read which one you prefer 🙂.
PS: There is no added sugar in this recipe as, to me, these flavors are enough to make it very tasty. Nevertheless, don’t forget to choose ripe bananas which will be much better in this recipe!
PS #2: Do you like almond powder for breakfast? You have to try these vegan pancakes. These are so DELICIOUS!
3/4 cup semi-complete flour ∞ Two alternatives for perfume: ∞ Preheat the oven to 180°C To check the cooking, you can simply use your knife. Personally, I like it better when it's not overcooked, it's less dry then.
Ingredients
2/3 cup oat flakes
1 tsp of yeast
1 pinch of salt
3 ripe bananas
2 eggs
6 cl of milk of your choice (coconut or almond depending on the flavor chosen)
A bit less than 1/3 cup of grated coconut with a few squares of 70% chocolate to be added in the centre before putting in the oven.
A bit less than 1/3 cup almond powder with a few almonds before putting in the ovenInstructions
∞ In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, oat flakes, yeast, salt and grated coconut or almond powder (depending on the chosen flavour).
∞ Crush bananas with a fork in another bowl. Add the eggs and milk and mix.
∞ Stir the liquid mixture into the bowl. If you prefer the texture smoother and less "flaky", mix the dough.
∞ To make even more yummy, add a square of chocolate in the centre of the dough for the coconut/choco version and some almonds on top for the almond version. Of course, the combo almonds/chocolate definitely works as well 😛
∞ Regarding the baking process, it is especially important to adapt according to the mould:
- In a cake tin: Bake for about 40 minutes (make sure to watch your oven).
- In muffin tins: Bake for 20 minutes (make sure to watch your oven).Notes
