You know eating healthy is easy...but we for some reason make it hard on ourselves. Eating well is the corner stone of any good body, both mentally and physically. It is fuel...so fuel it well.
We have lots of dried chickpeas...and wondered what to do with it all. Cooking it takes a while and it tastes really bland. I decided to throw some in my high power blender, and blend the crap out of them....booom...pow...it got turned into high quality chickpea flour...
- * did you know that chickpea if a good source of protein, high quality fiber with many minerals/vitamins *
So now that we have this high quality, nutritious flower...we got to work making stuff from pancakes to what we are talking about today...yummy banana bread to add to our breakfast (add honey, or maple syrup, egg, fruits, yogurt, morning oats...whatever you fancy....
We didn't follow an exact recipe for each amount...but here is ingredient list and amounts we kind of went by:
- around 2 cups of chickpea flour (made my own with blender and dried chickpeas)
- 1/2 cup of walnuts (crushed it up a bit with blender)
- 3 mashed bananas
- 2 eggs (can do vegan substitute for eggs)
- 1/3 cup of honey
- 1tsp of baking powder
- cinnamon powder
- 2 table spoons of melted coconut oil
- Also added a bit of brown sugar (melted with coconut oil)
Mix together...put in greased muffin pan and bake until cooked...voila. Easy protein, high fiber with minerals/vitamins add on with your breakfast
