GO BANANAS.....

GO Bananas......

After an online class is over my son wants to grab a fruit, an obvious choice is banana. This is the only fruit he can have fuss free. He picked up firm banana and gave over riped ones to me.The minute I get my hands on to riped bananas, I am in a hurry to bake anything with it.

My god not again cos this was third time I was baking my muffins and bread using mushy bananas.But honestly, mushy bananas  gives you soft and sweeter bread, which your kids will surely love.     

 

As I always keep  experimenting with fruit pulps to makes eggless cakes and muffins still was always on a lookout for a healthy banana bread recipe and to my shock this one was liked by my husband so I gave it a tick.

 As I had to bake something and this magic ingredient was lying around waiting for me to turn it into a yummy Choco filled healthy treat.I started thinking and decided to bake banana bread with oats and Choco chips.

Before we go ahead with the recipe little information about bananas as it’s the second most important food crop in India after mangoes.They contain several essential nutrients and provide benefits for digestion, heart health and weight loss.Aside from being very nutritious, they are also a highly convenient snack food.
