Recipes Cookbook - PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD

PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD |#Whole30bananabread #Paleobananabreadalmond #Paleobananachocolatechipbread #Almondflourchocolatechipbananabread #Almondflourcake #Bananabreadrecipealmondflour #Ketosauces #Whole30saucesanddressings #Almondbutterbananabread #Londonfogtea #Paleochocolatechipbananabread #Ketochocolatechipbananabread

Ingredients

  • 4 bananas 2 1/2 cups mashed or 575 grams
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (140 grams) almond butter or any nut butter of your choice
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 cup (75 grams) coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 6 oz. dark chocolate chopped (see Notes for recommendation to keep 100% Paleo)

Instructions

  1. Grease one 9"x5" loaf pan (or 8"x8" square pan, which is what I used) and preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. In a large bowl or mixer, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, coconut oil, vanilla extract and nut butter until fully combined.
  3. Add the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet ingredients and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes if using a square pan, and 50-60 if using a loaf pan. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, and when you press down lightly on the loaf, it should spring back, not stay indented. If a toothpick comes out clean but the loaf isn't springing back, keep it in the oven until it does to ensure it's baked through.
  6. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 1/2 hour. Flip out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Recipes Cookbook - Reese's Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies

Reese's Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies |#Chocolatechipbrowniecookies #Dessertrecipes #Deliciousdesserts #Cookiedesserts #Bakingrecipes #Sweetrecipes #Bestchocolatechipcookies #Bakingrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Deliciousdesserts #Cookingandbaking #Cookiesrecipeschocolatechip

Ingredients

  • Cookies :
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (103g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature*
  • 3/4 cup (185g) creamy peanut butter*
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 18 Reese’s Miniature Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
  • Drizzle :
  • 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Make the cookies: Toss the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl until combined. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together on medium speed until combined. On low speed, beat in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Turn the mixer to high and beat until light in color and smooth. Turn the mixer to low and slowly pour in the dry ingredients. Mix until combined and a dough is formed.
  3. Cover tightly and chill the cookie dough for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days). Chilling is mandatory.
  4. Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Take 1 Tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Take another 1 Tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Stick a peanut butter cup into one ball, kind of like a “cradle” as shown above. Top the peanut butter cup with other cookie dough ball and seal down the sides so that the peanut butter cup is securely stuffed inside. Roll the large cookie dough ball in your hands to ensure it’s smooth. Repeat with the rest of the dough and 18 peanut butter cups.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes or until very lightly browned on the sides. Some cookies may be taller than others, depending how the peanut butter cup was positioned inside. Just press the cookies down a bit to flatten them out. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Make the drizzle: melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in the microwave, stirring often to prevent seizing. Add 1 teaspoon of shortening if the mixture isn’t smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
  7. Cookies stay fresh stored covered at room temperature for up to 7 days.

Recipes Cookbook - Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Spinach Coconut Curry








Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Spinach Coconut Curry |#Stuffedsweetpotatorecipes #Healthydinnerrecipesvegetarian #Veganlunchideas #Vegetarianveganrecipes #Veganricerecipes #Easydinnerrecipesvegetarian #Dairyfreepastarecipes #Dairyfreedinnerrecipes #Dairyfreevodkasauce #Veganpenneallavodka #Veganvodkacreamsauce #Cookingrecipes








Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons (20ml) virgin coconut oil (I just used water instead)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) cumin seeds
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups/500 ml)
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 teaspoons (20ml) grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 medium/large sweet potato, peeled & cut into 1/4-to 1/2 inch dice (about 3 cups/750ml)
  • 1 (14-ounce/398ml) can chickpeas, drained & rinsed, or 1 1/2 cups (375ml) cooked chickpeas
  • 1 (14-ounce/398ml) can diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 (14-ounce/400ml) can light coconut milk
  • 1 (5-ounce/142g) package baby spinach
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • FOR SERVING
  • cooked basmati rice, quinoa, millet, or sorghum
  • chopped fresh cilantro, unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, lime wedges (optional)






Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. NOTE: I used water instead, did not use oil. The oil is hot enough when a cumin seed sizzles when tossed into the pan. Add the cumin seeds and toast for about a minute, until fragrant and lightly darkened in color (be careful not to burn them). Immediately stir in the onion, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and saute for a couple of minutes, until the garlic softens.
  3. Add the sweet potato, chickpeas, tomatoes with their juices, and coconut milk. Stir to combine, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. At the point, I always mash one-third of the mixture to thicken the sauce (using a potato masher), but this step is optional.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with the salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Serve on a bed of cooked grains, garnished with cilantro and coconut. If desired, offer lime wedges for squeezing over the curry. Store the cooled curry in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Recipes Cookbook - SALISBURY STEAK MEATBALLS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

SALISBURY STEAK MEATBALLS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY |#Instantpotspaghetti #Instantpotrecipeseasy #Hamburgermeatrecipeseasy #Easyfoodrecipes #Instantpotpastarecipes #Hamburgermeatrecipeshealthy #Cookingrecipes #Chickendishes #Fooddishes #Pastarecipes #Yummyfood #Yummydinners


   Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Meatballs:
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs, regular, Panko or GF
  • 1/4 cup milk or water
  • 1½ lb lean ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • ¼ cup (4 tbsp) ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard [See Note 1]
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce [see Note 2]
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • For the gravy:
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce [See Note 2]
  • 1 cup unsalted beef broth
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch [See Note 3]
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish
  • chopped fresh parsley

   Instructions

  1. If you’re serving the meatballs with mashed potatoes: fill a medium pot with water about 3/4 full and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Heat this over high heat to bring to a boil. You want just enough water to cover the potatoes during cooking. While the water is heating, peel, and cube the potatoes. Remember: Smaller potatoes cook faster thank large chunks. Add these to the pot even if the water is not boiling yet. Be sure to salt the water liberally.
  2. Prepare the Meatball Mix:
  3. Into a large bowl, add the breadcrumbs and milk (or water) and stir to combine. (step 1 Below)
  4. Next, add the salt and ground black pepper. (step 2 Below)
  5. Add the onions and garlic and stir to combine. (step 3 Below)
  6. Add the parsley and the ground mustard and mix. (step 4 Below)
  7. Add the ground beef, ketchup, and Worcestershire Sauce. Mix well with your hands. (step 5 Below)
  8. Shape into meatballs about 1-1/2 inches in size. (step 6 Below)
  9. Cook the Meatballs: Add two tablespoons of olive oil into a large non-stick (Teflon coated) skillet set over medium-high heat. Teflon works best with these delicate meatballs.
  10. Add the meatballs to the skillet. If you have a smaller skillet, you may need to cook in two smaller batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding leads to steaming rather than browning the meat. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Once browned, move the meatballs around the edge of the pan and start the base of the gravy in the middle area of the skillet. If you have a smaller skillet, you may need to remove the meatballs to a plate and set aside. (step 7 Below)
  11. Prepare the Gravy: Add butter to the center of the skillet and melt completely. Add onions and mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent – about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the onions and mushrooms, then stir to coat. I find this helps with clumping. Add the beef broth and stir to combine working out any lumps you find. Move the meatballs around back into the full pan. (step 8 below)
  12. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and bring to a full boil. Cornstarch needs to boil to activate thickening. After about 3 to 5 minutes, the sauce should begin to thicken. If the sauce becomes too thick add a bit more beef broth or water. If the sauce is too thin, mix another 1 tbsp of cornstarch into 1 tbsp of cold water and stir to combine. Then add this mixture directly to the sauce to thicken. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. (step 9 below)

Recipes Cookbook - Fresh Cherry Cake Recipe From Scratch

Fresh Cherry Cake Recipe From Scratch |#Pumpkindonutsbaked #Falldesserts #Falltreats #Bakingvideos #Fallbakingrecipes #Piecrustdesignseasy #Cherrycobblerwithfreshcherries #Cherrypiefillingrecipeshomemade #Frozencherryrecipes #Cherrycrumbbars #Cherrycrisprecipewithfreshcherries #Sweetcherryrecipes

Ingredients

    vanilla cake
  • 3 vanilla beans* (or 3tsp=1tbsp vanilla extract)
  • 1/2 cup canola oil or mild vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar (300g)
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, room temperature (360ml)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled (420g)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • cherry pie filling
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (15ml)
  • 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted (1 lbs / 450g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup water (60ml)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch (12g)
  • vanilla buttercream
  • 2-4 tbsp heavy whipping cream (30-60ml)
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted (480g)
  • 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature (284g)
  • 2 vanilla beans* (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line the bottom and the sides of two 8" (20cm) baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Vanilla Cake Layers In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl with a stand or handheld mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat butter, oil, and sugar until creamy for about 2-3 minutes. Add 1 egg at the time and mix until fully incorporated. Add vanilla* and stir to combine. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Divide batter into the two prepared baking pans equally. Bake for 30-33 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Don't overbake or the cake will be dry. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. Cherry Pie Filling Place all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring over medium heat to a boil. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the cherries get soft. Stir constantly. Blend cherries with an immersion blender. Cook another 5-8 minutes or until the filling has thickened and reduced by about 1/3. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools.
  4. Vanilla Buttercream In a large mixing bowl beat butter on medium speed until super creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup powdered sugar at the time and beat on low speed until combined. When all the sugar is in, beat on medium speed until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in vanilla*. Mix in 1 tbsp heavy cream at the time until you reach your desired consistency. The buttercream should be creamy and fluffy but firm enough to spread. I added exactly 3 tbsp. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
  5. Assembling Cut a thin layer off the tops of your cakes to create a flat surface. Then cut each cake in half horizontally. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread 1/4 of the buttercream over the cake. The buttercream should be higher around the edges that it holds the cherry filling inside the cake. Layer with 1/3 of the cherry filling (where the buttercream is lower). Repeat two more times. Place last cake layer on top and lightly frost the outside and the sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Chill 4 hours in the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days.

Recipes Cookbook - Italian Lemon Almond Flour Cake

Italian Lemon Almond Flour Cake |#Almondflourrecipes #Glutenfreebaking #Glutenfreerecipes #Glutenfreesweets #Dessertrecipes #Foodswithgluten #Glutenfreebaking #Almondflourcakes #Foodswithgluten #Cupcakecakes #Italianlemoncake #Glutenfreesweets

Ingredients

  • 320 grams (this is about 3 cups + 3 tablespoons) almond flour (not almond meal) or blanched almonds, ground into almond flour
  • 200 grams (1 cup + 3 tablespoons) white chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream or milk (I used 1.5% milk)
  • 180 grams (3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, softened
  • 130 grams (about 2/3 cup) granulated sugar or coconut sugar1
  • zest of 4 lemons, about 2 tablespoons
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 40 grams (about 2 tablespoons) of limoncello or lemon juice
  • berries and powdered sugar as garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 176°C and grease a 10" / 26cm pan or line it with parchment paper. If using blanched almonds instead of almond flour, process them in the food processor until they're pretty finely ground. If you grind them too much, they'll release oil and become almond butter.
  2. Combine the white chocolate and milk / cream in a microwave safe bowl.
  3. Heat in 30 second increments and stir after every 30 seconds. Set aside to cool while you prepare the rest. Beat the butter with 100 grams of sugar and beat until fluffy.
  4. Add the lemon zest, egg yolks and lemon extract and beat until well combined. Then add the almond flour / ground almonds and the melted chocolate. Add the limoncello / lemon juice and beat until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl with spotlessly clean beaters, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 30 grams of sugar to the egg white mixture. Fold the egg whites into the almond batter until well combined. Spoon the batter into the greased pan and bake for 40 - 45 minutes. If making half the cake, use a 7" / 18cm pan and bake for 30 minutes. The cake will puff up in the oven, but when cooling, it'll fall back down.
  6. Let it cool completely in the pan and then invert the cake onto a plate, and then flip that back into the pan or onto another plate (so that it's not upside down). Sprinkle on some powdered sugar if desired and top with berries, but only before serving. Cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated (I think it's best that way) for up to 5.

Ingredients

  • 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream






Instructions

  1. cook the chicken: season both sides of the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken all the way through. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  2. caramelize the onions: add the butter to the skillet along with the onions. Push the onions around the pan so they pick up all the flavor bits left behind by the chicken, lower the heat to medium-low and allow the onions to cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring them as needed to prevent from sticking. The onions are done when they soften completely and deepen in color. Add the thyme, red pepper flakes, sugar, and balsamic vinegar, let the vinegar cook out for a couple of minutes.
  3. make the sauce: Grab a whisk for this next step. Slowly pour in the chicken broth in a steady stream while you whisk, this will help deglaze the pan. Kick the heat up to high and let the sauce reduce for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens a bit. Once the sauce reduces, lower the heat again, and add in the cream. You don’t want the cream to start boiling immediately as it will cause the sauce to split. Let the sauce come to a gentle simmer, once it does, add in the chicken breasts and spoon the sauce on top. Serve immediately. The sauce will thicken as it sits so you may need additional broth to thin it out.

Recipes Cookbook - Zucchini Lasagna With Ground Beef

Zucchini Lasagna With Ground Beef | #Lowcarbrecipes #Salmonrecipesbaked #Ketochickenrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Ketodinnerrecipes #Fishrecipes #Squashlasagna #Lasagnaketozucchini #Ketozucchinirecipes #Optaviazucchinilasagna #Zucchinirecipescasserole #Groundturkeyzucchinilasagna

Ingredients

  • 20 ounces zucchini (about 2 large or 3 medium, peeling is unnecessary)
  • 1 pound extra lean ground beef (95% lean is ideal, no less than 90% to avoid a greasy wet dish)
  • 15 ounces canned unsalted tomato sauce (check the ingredients label to make sure no salt is listed)
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion (about 1 small onion)
  • 1 1/2 cups (5oz) shredded mozzarella cheese (I use low moisture part skim)
  • 1/2 cup (2.2oz) finely grated parmesan cheese (should be powder-like, finer than sand)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne

Instructions

  1. Making the meat sauce:
  2. Heat a high-sided pan over medium heat until hot (I use a 10-inch wide nonstick pan with 3-inch high sides). Add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add ground beef to the pan. Cook until it's no longer pink, about 5 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. Add tomato sauce, stirring it in. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then gradually reduce the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring frequently. The resulting sauce should be thick, easily clinging to the meat and onions; this helps reduce excess moisture in the resulting lasagna.
  5. Add oregano, salt, and cayenne. Stir for a minute until well-mixed. Turn off the heat.
  6. Assembling and baking the lasagna:
  7. Position an oven rack in the lower half of the oven, and preheat to 375 F. Set aside an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  8. For each zucchini, slice off both ends and discard them. Stand the zucchini vertically on a stable flat end, and carefully slice along its length into 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick strips. Don't worry if the slices aren't perfect because it won't affect the deliciousness of the lasagna.
  9. Arrange about one-third of the zucchini slices along the bottom of the baking dish so that they are slightly overlapping in a criss-cross pattern. Evenly spread about half of the meat sauce over the zucchini. Distribute about 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the meat sauce.
  10. Repeat with another zucchini layer, a meat sauce layer, and a cheese layer.
  11. Top with remaining zucchini slices. Add another 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese on top of the zucchini. Give the baking dish a quick shake so the cheeses spread out and settle into cracks.
  12. Bake uncovered at 375 F until the lasagna is golden brown on top, about 45 minutes. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the lasagna to set and cease bubbling before slicing.

Recipes Cookbook - Pumpkin Whoopie Pies (Vegan + GF)

#Veganrecipesdessert #Veganglutenfreerecipes #Veganpumpkincinnamonrolls #Vegancheesecakebars #Vegansweets #Veganfoods #Vegandesserts #Veganfoods #Vegansweets #Veganeating #Veganbaking #Veganglutenfree



INGREDIENTS
WHOOPIE CAKES

  • 1 cup oat flour

  • 3/4 cup rice flour

  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch

  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp ginger

  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp almond milk

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

CREAM FILLING

  • 3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 6 hours

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (from one 13.5-oz can)

  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil

  • 1/4 tsp each: cinnamon, cardamom, ginger

  • 1/4 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS
CREAM FILLING

  1. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Place them in a blender with the coconut cream, maple syrup, coconut oil, spices, and salt. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking. The cream will be very thin, it’s okay, it will firm up in the refrigerator.

  2. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or in the freezer for about 2 hours.

WHOOPIE CAKES

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. Whisk together oat flour, rice flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt in a large mixing bowl until combined.

  3. Pour in the almond milk, pumpkin purée, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Then, stir in the apple cider vinegar and whisk again. The batter should have the texture of pancake batter.

  4. Scoop out about 1 and 1/2 tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch between the cakes and spread slightly with a spoon (see photo). I had enough batter to fill 3 baking sheets.

  5. Bake for about 13 minutes, or until the tops appear dry and slightly cracked. The cakes should spring back when pressed. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

  6. Once the cakes are cooled, turn half of them upside-down and pipe or spread about 1 and 1/2 tablespoon of the chai filling onto them. Top with the rest of the cakes and press down slightly.

  7. Whoopie pies are best served the same day but will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. You can eat them straight from the refrigerator, or leave at room temperature for 15 minutes if you prefer a creamier filling.

Recipes Cookbook - Healthy Banana Bread

Healthy Banana Bread | #Bananabreadrecipehealthy #Healthypumpkinrecipes #Healthypumpkinbread #Cinnamoncrunchbananabread #Flourlessbananabread #Lowcalbananabread #Weightwatchersbananabread #Bananabreadrecipewithapplesauce #Bananabreadwithhoneyandapplesauce #Cinnamoncrunchbananabread #Healthybananabreadrecipe #Bananabreadrecipewithyogurt








Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil or high quality vegetable oil*
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 ½ medium or 2 large bananas)
  • ¼ cup milk of choice or water
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (NOT baking powder; they aren’t the same!)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to swirl on top
  • 1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
  • Totally optional: ½ cup mix-ins like chopped walnuts or pecans, chocolate chips, raisins, chopped dried fruit, fresh banana slices…






Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.)
  3. Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! If you’re adding any additional mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
  4. Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you’d like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
  5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I haven’t added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 55 minutes; if I have added mix-ins, it needs closer to 60 minutes). Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
