Banana Bread with Cinnamon Crumble

Not sure what to do with the over ripe bananas? Make some yummy banana bread! A great morning or afternoon snack. Recipe adapted from Inspired Taste.

True story....I forgot to put the nuts in the batter, so I had to improvise and make a crumble topping!

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
3 medium, mashed bananas
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
3/4 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mash bananas. Add brown sugar and eggs. Mix until combined. Add vanilla. Mix. Add flour, baking soda, salt and spice. Mix throughly.

Pour batter into a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2" loaf pan.

In a food processor, chop nuts, sugar until they form a crumble. Add to melted butter. Sprinkle over batter in loaf pan.

Bake for 35-50 minutes. Serve warm with butter. Enjoy!

Rolled Oats Chocolate Chip Pancakes

A healthy pancake with a touch of sweet! I have started to switch over from unbleached white flour to whole wheat & unbleached white whole wheat four. So far kids are liking it. Chocolate chips probably make the transition better, ha ha!

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup quick rolled oats
1 tablespoon cane sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 egg
1/4-1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Recipe adapted from Erica's Cannella Vita

Place flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend. Add milk, vanilla, egg and oil. Blend. Transfer to a medium bowl. Fold in chocolate chips.

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter on hot griddle or pan. Brown. Serve with a little butter. Syrup, not even necessary!
