easy banana cakes

There are so many banana recipes its crazy. I have searched high & low for the right recipe. I have experimented with many different recipes to try to find a yummy and healthy one. It has taken a while but I have finally created the perfect recipe with ingredients which work the best when combined together.

This is all you will need to collect to create your cakes:
3 medium sized bananas (i freeze peeled bananas so I simply defrosted mine before)
1 egg
1 cup natural yoghurt
2/3 cup of oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 3/4 cup of wholemeal flour
1/2 cup of caster sugar
muffin tray
12 muffins pans

Now what to do?
preheat oven to 180 degrees
mix together mashed bananas, eggs, oil & yoghurt
add flour, caster sugar & cinnamon
stir with wooden spoon until just combined (do not over mix)
spoon into 12 muffin cases
bake for 25 minutes (until golden brown)
stand in pans for 5 minutes then turn on to wire rack.

here are some photos of mine ...

Colourful foods

My fridge...something personal but colourful & of course extremely good for you.

my fridge.

I enjoy food shopping, some people hate it, some people love it - i love it. A funny thing to enjoy doing but when i arrive home & fill my cupboards & fridge with healthy food it makes things feel complete, clean & healthy.

There is only Anthony & i but i love having a variety of things for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

The greener, the redder, the bluer the better when it comes to foods that are good for you.

Colorful fruits and vegetables like broccoli, tomatoes, carrots & oranges have lots of different antioxidants, lots of different phyto chemicals. 

Phyto chemicals are naturally occurring plant compounds that may prevent disease. 

I hope you eat at least five servings of vegetables every day & only two fruit per day.

• Green vegetables like broccoli, spinach and romaine that protect eyesight and the immune system.
• Red strawberries, cherries, tomatoes and apples improve heart and brain functions
• Yellows and oranges like grapefruit, squash and carrots boost the immune system.
• Blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, eggplant and plums may help reduce some cancers and keep memory sharp.

Would love to know what your favourite thing is to cook with & i promise ill post some great recipes soon.
