I’m a big foodie. I love good food, and boy do I love to eat! It’s the main reason I run so much – to make up for the things I over eat love to eat.  If we’re playing the desert island game, I couldn’t live without bread and cheese.  A loaf of crunchy Italian batard and a big thick wedge of Humbolt Fog, if we’re being specific. Mmmmm…

You’d think since I love to DIY and love to eat, that I’d be a killer cook in the kitchen.  Well, let me prove you wrong by saying I’m a poor cook, my patience runs out quickly, and anything that takes longer than 30 minutes to whip up is not a dish that will make it into my kitchen.  It’s sad, but it’s true.

Apart from bread and cheese, I luuurrrrve baked goods.  I have this banana bread recipe that just so happens to be a hit among many, which I thought I would share with you today! AND guess what –  this recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prep!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 stick of butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 medium sized, overly ripe bananas, smashed
• 1 whole egg
• 3 egg whites
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup white flour
• 1 cup wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1) Mix all the dry ingredients together: Sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon

2) Add wet ingredients: egg, egg whites, butter, buttermilk

3) Smash bananas in a separate bowl

4) mix in the bananas & walnuts

5) Pour the batter into a greased bread loaf pan or cupcake tin.  Bake @ 350-degrees for 50-60 minutes (bread loaf pan) or 45 minutes (cupcake pan)

ENJOY! And I dare you to only eat one…
