Walk With Me...

I made it out for a short walk yesterday with my two sweet boys. We took a stroll to our dear friend @lyndsaybowes' house for a visit and to pick up some eggs that she so generously offered.

The walk there was very icy but we managed it without falling on our butts!

very icy driveway...

Dor thinks walking in the ditch is safer than on the road

When we got there we had tea and I got to listen to Lyndsays newest version of her amazing song Stop Killing Our Friends. It's really evolving and I can't wait until everyone gets to hear the finished version and see the video. Such an important message and such passion going into this project!

eggies yay!

I stayed for a cup of tea and some good conversation with Lyndsay and @hendrix22, it's nice to have people around that you can talk to off and on steemit. Had to head back home before too long though, the wood box needed filling and I wanted to put those eggs to good use too!

home again home again...

Recipe...

I managed to whip up a double batch of my favorite coconut flour banana bread and get it in the oven before my husband was ready to bring in the firewood. This is a recipe I have adapted from many online searches and tweaked to make it my own. It is high protien, high fibre, not too sweet, and very moist. I'm more than comfortable feeding it to my kids, though I end up eating most of it myself!

Coconut Flour Banana Bread, with Chocolate Chips or Wild Blueberries

Ingredients

• 4 cups mashed banana
• 10 whole eggs
• 1/4 cup oil (I used olive)
• 1.5 cups coconut flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• .5 tsp allspice
• .5 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• up to .5 cup add-ins per loaf, I used half a cup of frozen wild blueberries and a quarter cup of chocolate chips. Walnuts are yummy in here, and frozen raspberries are my absolute favorite addition but I was out.

Method

• Mash and mix the wet ingredients
• Mix in the dry ingredients
• Put into pans and gently swirl/fold in the add ins
• Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean!

In pictures...

start with frozen or fresh very ripe bananas, give 'em a whirr in the food processor or mash them by hand

add those beautiful fresh eggs! Give them a whirr too

banana egg in a mixing bowl / add your spices, flour, and oil / stir it into a nice dough

spoon into pans and add your fixings, chocolate chip topped with butter and sugar in one pan, and wild blueberry in another

in the oven you go...

And downstairs to fill the woodbox I go.
It takes us 45 minutes, I stack while he makes
trips with the wheelbarrow. Team work!!

yummy treat after a necessary chore :)

I hope you enjoyed the walk and the recipe, give it a try and let me know how it turns out!

Much love,
