Leave three perfectly overripe bananas at home with the non-banana eating BOY while I head out of town for the weekend???
OR turn them into a delicious travel friendly banana flavored snack???
I’m sure you can guess which option I chose! Truth be told, I wasn’t planning on blogging or sharing this bread. I had a few minutes in between packing, laundry, and catching up on the Big Bang Theory to throw something in the oven. I needed an easy recipe and I had no eggs in the house.
I followed this recipe, substituting bananas for zucchini and using the flax egg and applesauce to make up for the lack of eggs, mostly because this recipe comes together REALLY quick and also because I love a reason to use almond meal.
Like the recipe, I’m keeping this post quick.
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Because I am all packed up and ready for my weekend away with my mom.
We are off to Door County for a long weekend of hiking, biking, drinking, and shopping. And now, we have the perfect breakfast to take with us. See you in a few days!

It’s hard to let overripe bananas go by without turning them into something delish! Great minds think alike : )
This looks great. What a perfect thing to do with overripe bananas. I made apple zucchini muffins today too. Hope you have a great time with your mom.

Sound like you’re in for a nice weekend. The bread looks fabulous. I made zucchini apple muffins yesterday and they were delish.
I just saw these on line-the picture didn’t copy but the idea is there and the tote they showed was really cute-I didn’t know if you had ever seen them.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend with your mom .
