With being a new mama, school, work, family, and everything under the sun, sometimes it is hard for me to make healthy choices in the morning. I have my basic breakfast scramble or oat jars, but some days even that seems like a lot of work. What I fuel my body with is extremely important to me and became even more so once I found out I was pregnant. Breastfeeding really steals all of my energy but because I love it so much and want to continue until my bunny is one I make sure to shovel in some serious calories. I am a carb fiend; I have never met a carb I didn't like. They keep me full and give me energy to accomplish everything I must do in a day and you'll never hear about me giving them up.. ever.
I have been experimenting with bread and finding something that I can eat for more than just one day. This recipe is the best loaf I have ever made and lasts about 5 days! Well it only lasted 4 days but that's because I snuck out to the kitchen for a midnight snack and couldn't resist! If you don't like strawberries you can totally substitute them for a different berry or fruit.
Enjoy!
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup mashed banana (it was about 2 very ripe bananas)
1 mashed avocado
1 cup chopped strawberries
1/4 cup applesauce
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat over to 350 degrees and grease your loaf pan. I use coconut oil for everything and this is no exception. In a large bowl combine flours, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine banana, strawberries, avocado, egg, applesauce, sugar and vanilla. Add both bowls together and stir until smooth...ish. Pour into pan and top with strawberries and anything else you see fit, such as chocolate chips, shredded coconut, etc. Bake for 50min and voila! Nom nom nom.
