Happy Friday! Gosh can you guys believe that this time next week we will be in a food coma courtesy of Turkey Day? And then there’s only a month till Christmas! And then it’s 2013! I seriously cannot grasp how quickly this year has flown by. It kinda freaks me out to be honest.
I went all out of my box today and decided to change up my breakfast. My body was craving 2 things: cheese and eggs!
ww bread, 2 eggs, 1 slice provolone cheese and a naner
Naners are my go to morning fruit. In the summer I love having berries in the morning too, but my go-to no-fail fruit is always a banana!
Lunch was courtesy of a pre-made meal. This is one of my favorite pre-made meals out there, and I try to grab them whenever they are on sale!

With warmer weather fading away (FINALLY!) I decided to use my last bit of ground turkey to make us our final homemade burgers of the year.

And since the day was overcast and gloomy, and I had some naners going bad, I decided to put my apron on and make some of my favorite quick bread! With the holidays right around the corner, I am trying to narrow down by top 3 favorite breads to make for friends for the holidays.
Healthy Banana Nut Bread
All the flavors of a traditional banana bread, made with wholesome ingredients!
Ingredients:
-
3 ripe naners, mashed
-
1/2 C honey
-
3T coconut oil
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 C whole wheat pastry flour
-
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
-
pinch sea salt
-
1T cinnamon
-
3/4 C chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350. Mix naners with honey and coconut oil. Add in vanilla. Mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in another bowl. Slowly mix in wet ingredients. Stir in walnuts. Pour into 9×5 pan and bake for 40-50 minutes.
Nasty brown naners turn into beautiful tasty bread!
Its a bit crumbly because Ms. Impatient right here didn’t want to wait for it to cool before I sliced into it. I advise you to wait a little. Unless of course you don’t mind some crumbly banana bread!

What is your favorite quick bread to make?
DO you prefer your banana bread with or without nuts?
Love the looks of your bread!! Yum! I’m a big fan of chocolate zucchini bread! Def need to try this out!!! Spa <3
That turkey burger is making me drool! haha I actually like turkey burgers more than hamburgers. So tasty!
Banana bread looks delicious, too
I prefer walnuts in my bread, but if I don’t have any on hand, I just make due til I get to the grocery store.
mmmm. Nothing beats a fresh slice of banana bread!
I love making my own fries like that. Happy friday lovely!
YUM!!! Banana bread is one of my favorite things EVER. I hardly ever make it though because I just want to eat the whole loaf
Banana bread makes me weak in the knees – it’s definitely my favorite kind of quick bread to make. And even more so because the smell that fills my kitchen while it’s baking has got to be one of the most comforting things ever, especially if I’ve had a bad day or the weather is particularly cold and nasty. Gah! I think it’s time to do some baking this weekend… now if only my bananas would make it to that perfect stage of ripeness… I tend to go through them kind of fast
Omg those potato fries look amazing. I like banana bread without nuts. I am not a big nut fan in my breads, I like nuts on their own. However, I’m not a walnut fan and that seems to be the only nut in breads! HA!
Oooh, yum! It is definitely banana bread making season. Yours sounds delicious!
