Prep Time: 0 Minutes Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Ready In: 45 Minutes Servings: 8

1 3/4 cups flour (i usually use 1 cup of white flour and 3/4 c. of whole wheat flour)

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. salt

3/4 cup sugar

3 oz of espresso

1 cup really ripe (ie. the blacker and mushier the better) mashed bananas ('3 bananas)

1/2 cup milk (i usually use skim, but any will do, even soy milk)

1 egg

optional: vanilla extract (1 tsp), cinnamon (1 tsp). if you like it “spicy” add 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp ground cloves.

you can also add chocolate chips, nuts (walnuts are best!---just grab a handful, crunch it up and throw it in), flax (1-2 tbsp), etc

also, my latest trick is adding 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds (aka salba) to about 3/4 c of water and letting it “gel”. then add the chia gel to the wet ingredientsthis adds fibre, protein, omega 3s and also makes it super moist without the added fat.
