Sitting in the coffee shop yesterday, my friend and I realized that it was Fat Tuesday and we had approximately 6 hours to figure out what we were giving up for Lent. I haven't been to church since the beginning of January (still haven't found a church I like here at school) so I definitely forgot that Ash Wednesday was coming up so soon... like today. We were both thinking about giving up baked goodies for lent but coffee was also an idea. I haven't had either all day and I've been going back and forth about which would be better and here's what I've decided: I'm giving up coffee and will do my best to avoid the baked goods. I drink coffee ALL the time, but I've been having some tummy troubles lately and I think the coffee is not helping. Adios coffee, I will seriously miss you (disclaimer: It's been years since I've been off the coffee, so I sincerely apologize if I go nuts. It's gonna be an interesting 40 days!) As my brother says, "You have to stick to it because you're doing it for Jesus!" Amen brotha!
My kitchen smells so good right now thanks to this awesome bread. We're super stoked to try it!
Supremely Moist Banana Bread!
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup canola
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
3 mashed ripe (really ripe) bananas
1/2 cup plain, fat free greek yogurt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
Super easy: Throw the ingredients in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top and and throw it in the oven at 350. Baking time varies significantly. Because I'm a cheap college kid I don't have loaf pans, I used two 9in cake pans and it worked out just fine. It took about 35 minutes to bake but our oven runs hot. Here's the final product:
Because tomorrow is Valentine's Day <3
So moist and pretty dense. We love it!!
I have a mountain of homework waiting for me so I best be off. Anybody have any plans for Valentine's Day?
