This banana bread is so amazingly delish. I mean I took a bite and almost died. If you haven’t tried my gluten free banana bread, that’s a must, too! First of all, your bananas should be black. BLACK. Like the kind you throw away because you think they’re too ripe. I mean they need to be at least dark brown and spotted. Let those babies ripen on the counter while you hang tight for a few days.
This strawberry banana bread doesn’t have any oil or butter or lard or added sugar–whatever. Who wants to eat this healthy stuff on national-stuff-your face-with-overrated-milk -chocolate-day anyway? Since eating healthy desserts today would be nothing short of a crime, we’re eating ridiculously moist and perfect banana bread made with almonds, oats, bananas, applesauce, dark chocolate, strawberries and other wholesome goodies instead. But no one said anything about being healthy. It doesn’t taste healthy, anyway. So shhhh. Secret. Period.
I know February is supposed to be all romantic and whatnot, but is it just me or did this holiday stop being cool once we were deemed too old to come to school with those shoebox valentine holders? I mean I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss those jaw-breaker red heart lollipops and boxes of stale conversation hearts. Apparently the newest sweethearts say “LOL”, so it’s a good thing I haven’t been gifted a box in a while. If you know me at all, you know my sentiments about saying LOL. It’s like Voldemort. He who shall not be named. Yikes. So maybe today is Valentine’s Day. The thing is, you actually don’t need a hubby, sweetie, honeybuns, babe or doll to buy you overrated milk chocolate because I already got you dark chocolate covered strawberries.
