Beg-worthy Banana Bread


Safari and/or iPhoto is/are conspiring against me, because although iPhoto displays this picture properly rotated, it appears this way when I go to upload it. So forgive me, it's not my fault.

This is another yummy recipea from Peas and Thank You. I almost always have extra ripe bananas sitting around, and therefore am always looking for new ways to use them up. I mean, my freezer can store but so many frozen bananas. The almond butter and almond extract used in this recipe was a nice departure from my standard banana bread recipe. You can find an online reproduction of the recipe here!

If you're in the Baltimore area, don't forget about Vegtoberfest tomorrow afternoon! There will be live music, a variety of speakers/exhibitors, a chili cook-off, and of course lots of yummy vegan food. Leashed pets are permitted, too; I will definitely have Dakota in tow tomorrow, taking in the gorgeous weather and eating as much food as my jeans will allow.

Banana-Chocolate Chip Muffins



I forgot to share these little babies with you last week! I found this recipe for banana-chocolate chip muffins on huffingtonpost.com, and given my love of chocolate and muffins and bananas, I knew this would be love at first bite.

And it was.

Really easy to put together, and so tasty!

Banana Nut Muffins


This week I wanted to try a new muffin recipe, but wasn't sure what type of muffin. I also had a bunch of bananas that were definitely past their prime. I may or may not be a snob when it comes to bananas... but I make up for it by resourcefully using unsatisfactory-as-is bananas in smoothies and breads.

Anyway, the first two facts made me look at fruity/banana muffins. I found this recipe for banana nut muffins in 1000 Vegan Recipes. Not only did the recipe look ridiculously easy (I think I pulled these together in 10 minutes), but I had everything in stock. It calls for ground flax seed, which I discovered my Giant does not carry. If you can't find it at your normal grocery store, try a local health food store or a Whole Foods.

These little babies came out so beautifully and tasty. They are a test of will power, because I want to eat all of them. And then make more. And then eat those, too. Seriously, these blueberry muffins had better watch out because there's a new contender in the competition for the title of "Niki's Favorite Muffin Ever."

I couldn't find an online recipe for this, so suck it up and buy the book!
