Breakfast Bread
It’s nice to have a breakfast food that you can grab quick in the morning, especially if you work full time at an 8 – 5 job. What’s even better is if that breakfast food is full of protein, vitamins, and nutrients, and low on preservatives. The Greek yogurt, eggs, and pecans give this banana bread mutant a super power protein punch. The cranberries and spices turn up the complexity of flavor so your breakfast routine is anything but boring.
Breakfast Bread
1/2 cup white flour
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ripe bananas
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter
3 large eggs
3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of salt
1.Combine the dry ingredients plus the nuts and the cranberries in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Mash the bananas in another bowl. Combine the rest of the wet ingredients together. Don’t forget to add the eggs, like I did when I was mixing the ingredients. If you do, just beat them and add them to the mixture.
3. Mix the wet and dry together.
4. Grease a loaf pan with butter or pam.
5. Add the mixture to the loaf pan and bake at 325 for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
