Thank Bananas it's Friday
I should really come with a warning - DANGEROUS WHEN BORED
Just a little side effect of having an anxiety disorder, I find it really hard to not do anything. Best excuse I can think of for setting myself this bizarre mission. To search for and cook as many banana recipes as I possibly can in a year
Sometimes I come up with complete disasters and sometimes they force me to do a happy dance. After last weeks banana and mincemeat tea loaf, I still had half a jar left to use. Boredom + half jar mincemeat =
Banana & Mincemeat pies
I got a little creative and used my butterfly cookie cutter to make the lids. I ended up with a really pretty and tasty pie.
Another Scottish rainy day where I couldn't get the idea of how good coffee and banana go together. A flavour combination I first discovered when I made Coffee banana dessert a recipe from Brazil. Boredom + an idea =
Banana and Coffee Cupcake
I spent ages looking for a coffee flavoured cake to use, but I couldn't find one. I changed my approach and
used this recipe from The sweetest Vegan as the base. Then swapped the almond milk for strong de-caff coffee.
(Caffeine doesn't agree with my anxiety or my IBS, I avoid it at all costs)
The recipe makes a lovely light cupcake. I thought I had been too timid with the coffee, but the banana taste comes first and the coffee hits at the end. They make a wonderful flavour combination.
Weather report says more rains heading my way, so look out for more recipes next week xxx
