I had a gorgeous breakfast this morning and was so excited to share it with you…

that is, until I accidentally deleted the picture

Ugh, it irritated me so badly that I deleted it because it was such a yummy creation.  I made an egg white and spinach omelet with chunky salsa for dipping alongside two Morningstar breakfast patties.  Sorry I can’t share the picture!!

While I ate my breakfast (and Bill slept), my delicious creation was in the oven baking:  peanut banana bread.

Here’s my recipe…

• 4 very ripe bananas
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup peanuts
• 1/2 cup 2% milk

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Mix the dry, then mix the wet, then mix them both together!  Mix until well combined, I mashed out the chunks of banana until somewhat smooth.  Pour into a sprayed cake pan.  Bake for 40-45 minutes.  Be sure to keep an eye on your bread towards the end, it should be golden brown.  Let cool for 15 minutes and then slice and enjoy!

When Bill woke up, I served him a slice with a little bit of Smart Balance and had a couple bites of his yummy portion.  It’s a pretty dense banana bread, kind of sweet (but you could easily omit the sugar for a healthier version), and all in all quite tasty.  I loved the different texture and crunch that the peanuts provided.

Now I’m off to get some laundry & errands done around the house, we might take a trip to the furniture store to scope some more stuff out, of course while we sing our Fight Song “FLY EAGLES FLY… On the road to victory…”
