Nicky, aka “Boredom Baker” here! Why is it that, as we age, recommended recipes seem to get more and more boring? I remember when I was a kid, sitting on the trampoline enjoying a delightfully chocolatey ice cream without a care in the world.
Nowadays as a mid-twenty-something, I’m constantly reminded of eating for the health of my relentlessly ticking ‘biological clock.’ Despite what Instagram says, raw grass clippings just aren’t delicious!
As a recreational baker, it has been my mission to bake both the sinfully delicious and the desserts that are good for you and surprisingly yummy as well. It was for this very reason that I did some digging and revamped a plain old gluten-free banana bread recipe into something you’ll actually look forward to.
So no matter where the hands are pointing on your biological clock, today’s recipe will be great for you. This banana bread is an excellent source of Vitamin E, Omega-3s and Vitamin B. These vitamins and minerals are ideal for remedying dry skin, reducing mood swings, and protecting bone density—all-too-familiar symptoms of menopause. So it’s true what they say; cake really IS the key to happiness!
