Simple Healthy Banana Bread Squares

The most depressing moment of our life was 2 years ago when we spoke to a 20-year old and she didn’t know Friends. We made a joke from there and she looked at us as if we're some crazy lady with a weird hairstyle.

To be fair, we did braid our hair that day. But not in a romantic, beautiful way like here:

More like in a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-milk-the-cows kinda way. We did not actually find a picture.

Still, our 20-year old friend had no idea who our (*real*) friends Joey, Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Gunter and Janice were. This was the first time in our life when we realized we are getting old. A real low.

Since then we're just sitting in the kitchen and making food. 2 years, guys. Two years locked in that kitchen, cooking and eating. Come and rescue meeeee!!!

Someone’s lying and getting dramatic and it’s not us. It’s this banana bread. This is a recipe we mastered during the last two, okay probably one year. It’s a healthy banana bread.

Well, it’s not actually “bread”. It doesn’t look like bread. It’s a banana bread square. Squares. Healthy banana bread squares. But first, it was a heart.

And then we chopped it into million squares as if we were a boy. Even just for a day. Okay, 8 “squares” (kinda, some edges were round).

You know how people eat peanut butter and bananas? Yuck. Almonds and bananas = better. And another thing you need to know is that this is the most solid pre-workout snack.

But it’s also the solid post-workout snack (because if you pay close attention to popular “fitness tips”, post-workout, pre-workout…ALL the same: umm, eat some carbs + protein before workout and umm, after workout eat some protein + some carbs).

How it comes together

Without any sugar, eggs or flour, this banana bread is made out of nothing. It’s like a baby. We call it the abracadabra of life.

Okay, so you’ll need some things. For example the oldest, most disgusting bananas you can find? Score, put them in there.

Then you’ll need oats, almonds, vanilla, coconut oil and this recipe. Nada more. Put everything in a bowl, mix it together until you get something that looks like a batter, spread it out in a small/medium-sized baking tray, top with nuts or anything else your heart might desire and bake.

We've heard people added blueberries, raisins and different nuts to this banana bread recipe.

After you’ve baked it, wait for that banana “bread” to cool off, slice it and enjoy! Keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.

1. Mash bananas in a bowl with the coconut oil (don't need to melt it before, mashing will do the trick).
2. In a food processor / nut grinder grind your oats to flour.
3. Add vanilla and oats, in the end add the almonds (chopped roughly).
4. Optionally you can also add some dark chocolate chunks. Personally, we like banana bread like this more.
5. Spread the mixture in a spring form or a silicone baking form, and top with chopped almonds.
