I made mini banana bread bakes with dried fruit. Would you ever have thought dried fruit could get plump and juicy? Well it does!
No recipes to share here because I was just throwing thing into the glass bowl all willy-nilly, but I made two of them. The first had dried blueberries and the second had goji berries.
I “rehydrated” them (is that what it’s called?) by soaking them in warm water for a while first. Then I added the rest of the ingredients to the plump berry water and mixed until it had a consistency that seemed good. Flavor-wise I wasn’t too concerned. How hard is it to mess up bananas, berries, sugar and oat flour. Worst case scenario I’d just dump Earth Balance and/or maple syrup all over it and call it a day. Which I did anyway.
It reminded me of a banana berry muffin. A glorious one. Sans gluten.
I promise from now on I’ll write down recipes.
Ummm…oops!
Ok from NOW on.
🙂
Wahhh I want the recipe! I haven’t eaten breakfast yet and that last pic looks to die for. I don’t really cook with dried fruit often…but good idea to rehyrdate them!
Reconstituted dried fruit?? Maybe, I dunno. These bakes look yummy.
So I made your coconut cranberry quick bread ( sans cranberries con blueberries, per your suggestion), into muffins . Oh wow, so good! The texture of oat & coconut flours is a definite winner, & I love the tang from the greek yogurt :). Thanks!
Xxx
It’s “reconstitute.” I only know because I help my students reconstitute sundried tomatoes on the daily. These look yummy!
Looks fabulous! Funny this is, I love the texture of re-plumped dried cranberries, but not of raisins… chocolate always wins 😉
