Bananenbrot | Banana bread

English version below

Ich esse eigentlich nur unreife Bananen. Und dann komme ich immer irgendwann in die Küche und merke, dass die sorgfältig ausgewählten grünen Bananen schon so weit sind, dass ich sie nicht mehr essen will. Ich werfe nicht gerne Lebensmittel weg, also muss damit was passieren. Bananenbrot geht immer :)

A Simple + Healthy Breakfast: Overnight Oats

I also puréed a few strawberries and added
this strawberry sauce to the bottom of the jar.

Calling this a recipe is almost impudent... I saw a lot of overnight oats on the internet recently and decided to give it a go so I'd have a simple and healthy breakfast to make a Monday morning a bit nicer for myself and for people around me (those who got breakfast from me and those who didn't have to deal with a breakfast-free me). :)

Here is what I used for today's overnight oats:

Ingredients (per serving):

• 70g of rolled oats
• 200ml of oat milk (you can use any milk you like!)
• 5 strawberries
• 1 small banana
• a handfull of chopped almonds
• some rhubarb (half a small stick?)
• 1 teaspoon of raw cane sugar

Banana Rhubarb Breakfast Muffins

I'm quite the fan of The Vegan Foodnerd on Facebook. I get tons of great inspiration there and have already tried a recipe or two from their posts. One of them was the ever-awesome (Oreo-free Oreo) Raspberry Cheesecake! Bow down to the makers of these recipes! :)

I have to admit that I had never baked or cooked with rhubarb before. But since I had a bunch of rhubarb in our organic farmer's veggie box last Friday, I had to conquer the art of rhubarb eating! The first piece went into a smoothie (along with bananas, an apple, and turnip tops), but I had to find good use for the rest! And The Vegan Foodnerd's recipe for breakfast muffins looked too good not to try it. I made a couple of changes to the recipe, though. Here is my version!

• 140g vegan "butter"
• 300g of unrefined sugar
• a little bit of vanilla (flavor or the real deal)
• 2 bananas
• 3 medium stalks of fresh rhubarb
• 350g of soy yoghurt

The Perfect (and Healthy) Milk Shake

For some reason I never liked bananas. I have no idea why that was the case, but that's what I had to deal with most of my life.
I recently decided to give bananas another go and it turned out: Bananas are awesome. Maybe the minions (see below) had something to do with my change of mind.

So now, I am starting to discover the beauty of banana based food. My current favorite: Banana Chocolate Milk Shake! It takes a bit of prep time, but the type of prep time, where you do one thing and the let it sit for a while while you do whatever it is you want to do. You also need a blender and a freezer.

The Perfect Banana Chocolate Milk Shake

Ingredients: 

• 2 ripe bananas (even if they're a bit riper than you'd usually like... this is a great way to use up "not so pretty" produce)
• around 200ml of oat milk (we're utterly in love with "Smelk" by Kölln)
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (not the sugary type you'd use for hot chocolate, but the pure, good cocoa)
