APRICOT CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA CAKE

We eat a lot of bananas around here. Like 12 pounds a week, or so. That’s a lot of potassium!

So we like to experiment with different recipes to use this favorite family fruit. This is a new favorite we just came up with. Eat it for breakfast, because it’s basically jazzed up banana bread.   

Recipe

Large bananas, mashed – 3

Eggs – 2

Demerara (or sugar) – ¾ C

Buttermilk – 1/3 C

Oil – 1 T

Vanilla – 1 T

Whole Wheat Flour – 1 ¾ C

Baking powder – 1 ½ teaspoons

Baking soda – ½ teaspoon

Salt – ½ teaspoon

Apricots, dried, cut into fourths – ¾ C

Chocolate Chips – ¾ C

Blend all dry ingredients. Add in bananas, eggs, demerara, buttermilk oil and vanilla. Fold in apricots and chocolate chips.

Bake in a greased 9 X 13 pan at 325 for about 20-35 minutes. Cake is done when just lightly browned on the top. After it has cooled, dust lightly with powdered sugar.

ENJOY IN GOOD HEALTH!
