When your kids demand bananas and then refuse to eat them -- banana bread! I betcha they will eat them now!!!

Ingredients:

6 ripe bananas, peeled & mashed
1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup maple sugar (sugar or sugar substitute)
1/4 cup of honey
2 large eggs beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice or cinnamon
3 cups unbleached organic all-purpose flour

Mash bananas and add wet ingredients first, whisk and add dry ingredients. Mix well and pour into loaf pan(s). Bake at 350°f for 45min. I made two small loafs from this to have one to take to a friend, you can also make one large loaf, add 5-10min of bake time and check to make sure your knife comes out clean.

Found this hidden gem in Grayslake today, chicken adobo fries, pancit and lumpia (not pictured because everyone dug in too fast was crispy salt & pepper wings)

The whole family pitched in to make these oat muffins with zucchini, carrots and tart dried cherries. Feels like a mom win when you can make a healthy and delicious treat for the kids!

I modified a recipe to add 2 shredded carrots, 1 cup of tart dried cherries and 1/4 cup of h**p seeds for protein!
