Recipe - Simple Banana Bread

10/10/2020

This month we bring you a simple banana bread recipe - and this works really well with cavendish bananas.

This recipe is an extremely simple banana bread (and at the volumes below will make one oaf of approximately ten servings - so adjust as needed).

Ingredient Checklist

3 medium ripe bananas - mashed
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
¼ cup melted butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1Preheat oven to 165 degrees (c). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2Combine bananas, sugar, egg, and butter together in a bowl. Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl; stir into banana mixture until batter is just mixed. Stir salt into batter. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Step 3Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Done! If you are looking to change the basic recipe up you can add dried fruits, chocolate buttons or your favourite accompaniments (we've even seen this work with diced pineapple)!

Reminds me of Nan’s recipe - only the best cook on the planet, now departed. I’m as passionate about human biology as you are about soil Dave. Likewise, nutrients in our bodies (body is our soil), result in good health/balance or less nutrient dense crop —> disease down the track. Like soil, we can sustain challenges, but not over the long haul. Meaning? This delicious recipe is so much healthier than buying taste challenged ‘processed’ convenience foods (processed foods = the most significant anti-nutrients contributing to diabetes type 2 - & type 3, aka Alzheimer’s Disease). So.. ‘treats’ should be kept to <20% of diet (or <10% of diet if reversing disease state: body remediation). Consumption of favourite treats can be increased (thank God!), by swapping out the ‘challenging’ ingredients - eg, swap out sugar for Monk fruit (preferred taste - & can grow your own) or stevia. Also, by using gluten free flours (eg almond, rice, buckwheat, hemp) - some professors say we are all gluten intolerant since wheat proteins have been denatured/altered, now incompatible/sensitised - although due to delayed reaction and cumulative affect, we don’t relate symptoms (often aged when onset) to our diet. We can use Celtic sea salt (has full spectrum mineral profile) instead of table salt, which is Sodium chloride (NaCl) - NaCl is as toxic to us as it is to the garden, and it’s processed, meaning nutrients (around 45 minerals our bodies desperately need) are stripped. Sea water contains around 47 minerals known to date, with around 85% being Na & Cl. I’ll try making a version of this delicious recipe to see how little I butcher the taste, while maximising nutrient content. I’ll to do a local taste test Dave - end of day, if it doesn’t cut it for taste, not much Point is there? I’m not expecting it to look as good as yours either, but if it tastes good, I’ll send the recipe with substitute quantities.... (Interesting link, if interested in sea minerals http://web.stanford.edu/group/Urchin/mineral.html ). I drink ionic sea mineral supplement daily (Amena’s daily boost) since our soils (probably not yours Dave) have been degraded of mineral content for decades, most are deficient (just one eg is osteoporosis. It can be cured with 175 mg boron daily, arthritis 75 mg, less for some (have links if interested). If interested, compare arthritis rates in Israel (high soil boron at >10mg, 0.7% Arthritis) with Jamaica (<1mg soil boron, 70% Arthritis). Our bodies, elementally, are minerals and water, we used to get our minerals from plants. Likely still can from yours...
