Banana Peanut Butter Cake

Elvis Presley's favorite sandwich is banana & peanut butter, who ever knew that those two combinations are simply delicious? Here's a recipe for a Banana Peanut Butter Cake where the two flavorful worlds combine together into one good loaf of deliciousness.

• Banana Peanut Butter Cake

2 cups whole wheat self-raising flour sifted (see note)

2 large eggs lightly beaten

1 cup banana mashed

1/2 cup earth balance unsalted (or unsalted butter)
1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

Preheat oven at 350F degrees.

1. Spray non-stick cooking spray on a 8 1/4x5 1/2x 2 3/4 inch loaf tin. Using an electric beater, beat the butter, sugar, and honey in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating thoroughly. Add the peanut butter and beat until well combined.

2. Mix in mashed bananas. Then fold in flour, stir until the mixture is just combined and almost smooth.

3. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center of cake. Leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

OH EM GEE~ This stuff is good <3 Thank you Elvis!

Note: If you don't have whole wheat self rising flour here's my recipe to make your own.

1 cup whole wheat flour or all purpose

1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

It's bulletproof.

Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

I had some left over bananas that's just been sitting on my counter, if you knew me you'll know that I HATE wasting food. I had a sudden urge for pancakes so why not make banana pancakes?! I replaced all purpose flour with whole wheat to make it a bit healthier & no sugar since you can get the sweetness from the bananas.

This recipe makes about 6-7 pancakes, hopefully you'll have some friends over for breakfast :)

• Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

1 cup of whole wheat flour
2 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 large riped banana
1 cup fat-free milk
3 egg whites
2 tsp oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

** You can add walnuts to have some crunch.

1. Mix all dry ingredients flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon into a bowl.

2. Mash large banana until it looks like baby food. I like to use a fork. Mix all wet ingredients in a separate bowl (milk, vanilla, egg, oil) with mashed bananas.

3. Combine wet ingredients to dry. Mix until all dry spots disappear. Don't over mix




4. Spray non-stick cooking spray to lightly coat skillet. Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Pour batter (I used a 1/4 measuring cup) When the pancake starts to bubble and the edges look a bit golden brown, flip the pancakes and repeat with the remaining batter.

Top it off with some banana slices and viola! You have fresh pancakes <3 You can always add your favorite maple syrup but I'm not a big fan of the sweet liquid, so I spread some of my favorite jam (??)

It says "butter" but it's more like a jam consistency, for 35 calories per tablespoon who can complain? mMmMm...

Have a good breakfast guys :)

My sisters funny Easter eggs that I had to use. HAHA~
