Old Bananas are the BEST Bananas!

My obsession with "old" bananas baffles a lot of people. I can't eat a yellow banana. I consider it raw, uncooked if you will. I need my banana to be brown. REALLY brown.

The best part of living alone was my bananas sitting out getting brown and NOT getting eaten by someone else before they were primed and ready to my liking.

I understand I'm in the minority on this but the people that love me are supportive. And that's really all that matters.

If you have a few of these bananas lying around and aren't about to eat them, don't toss them. Bake with them. Brown bananas are sweeter than their yellow version. Banana bread anyone?



I make this bread/loaf about once a week. I make it so much I can just about make it in my sleep.
Grab your old bananas and give it a whirl!
  • 3 to 4 brown, delicious bananas 
  • 1 & 1/4 Cup Gluten Free Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill one to one)
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Flax Meal
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar
  • 2 tsp of Vanilla
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3 Tbsp of oil, I use canola.
Sprinkle to your liking of;
  • ground cloves
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg
Add in;

  • Chocolate Chips. I like Enjoy life.
  • Walnuts
  • Pecans
  • Peanut butter
you get the idea. :)

Grease loaf pan with coconut oil & place in the middle of a pre-heated oven.
350 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes. My oven is unreliable so I keep and eye and nose on it.
When I think it's done, I stick a knife in the middle and make sure it comes out clean.

Slice and enjoy! I clearly did.
