Banana Walnut Loaf


I am continuously looking for banana recipes as we always have over ripe bananas in the fruit bowl towards the end of each week and i hate the thought of throwing them out when i know something delicious can be made from them instead. I really like this recipe, it is no fuss, quick and easy! It also dates amazing and is perfect to curb those sweet cravings. 

Ingredients 

3 ripe bananas
3 eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 - 3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 cup walnuts (chopped) + extra to top the loaf (optional)
3 cups oats


Method

1. Preheat oven to 180℃ .

2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl.

3. Then add in the eggs and coconut oil, mixing thoroughly.

4. Add in oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and walnuts, continuously mixing.

5. Pour into a greased bread loaf tin, make sure you grease the tin well as the bottom tends to stick (I use coconut oil or cooking spray).

6. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the center.

Enjoy x

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
