Healthy Banana Bread

October 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

I had no idea that I had never posted a banana bread. Honestly! Banana bread is a family favorite and a staple of this house, so how in the world I never managed to put one here is beyond me. Perhaps I thought it was so common for me that I had already created the recipe? I’m not sure.

Problem? Solution.

Here it is! One of the great things about banana bread is that it uses up those over-ripe leftover bananas that we ALL have hanging around. And, it’s rather versatile! Feeling nutty? Add in some nuts. In an extra ‘dirty’ mood? Toss in some chocolate chips…

Caramel Apple Monkey Bread

Was bobbing for apples ever really a thing? I know caramel apples are, but I can’t say that I have ever, or would ever, stick my head in a bucket of water to try and fish out an apple by way of my mouth. So, caramel apples it is! This Caramel Apple Monkey Bread is a great way to sneak some caramel apple into your morning.

A bright crisp green apple that’s baked right into some sugary biscuit goodness and topped off with a quick homemade caramel sauce. It’s sort of perfect for a chilly Fall morning, don’t you think? Plus, there’s no bobbing or water buckets involved so it’s a win-win…

Pumpkin Banana Bread

A plain and simple banana bread that’s loaded up with pumpkin flavor and warm spices of the Fall season. And yes, I can post pumpkin recipes all I want now that it’s officially FALL. Even though I’ve already been posting them. Now you can have even more of them!

This is a very traditional banana bread that I’ve added pumpkin and spices to. That’s really all. There’s no nuts. No chocolate. No other added things. Just banana and pumpkin. Simple and as tasty as can be. This bread, just like any breakfast style bread, is perfect to make on the weekend and have ready for breakfast all week…

Skinny Spiced Peach Bread

As Fall draws near so does Pumpkin Spice season. But, being as we’re not quite there yet, I thought I’d take something seasonal to Summer, like peaches, and add it to something Fall inspired, like warm spices! This Skinny Spiced Peach Bread is the perfect segue from Summer into Fall with it’s juicy and sweet chunks of fresh peaches tucked in among the warm spices of Fall like cloves and nutmeg.

It’s pretty easy to make too and is mostly done all in one bowl. I’m pretty confident in saying that this is probably one of my favorite breakfast breads so far. It’s not overly sweet and has the freshness of the peaches there to play against the spices…

Pizza Monkey Bread

Craving pizza but tired of the same old thing? Try this Pizza Monkey Bread! It’s a fun and easy savory twist on monkey bread that turns pizza into a bite sized dipper that the whole family is sure to love. One of the best parts is that it’s a great way to mix things up on pizza night to have something for everyone without having to make or bake several different kinds of pizza.

I did mine with half having some olives and mushrooms while the other half was chopped up turkey pepperoni and mushroom. So everyone got something they wanted. It’s great for family game night or for kiddos at a sleepover once that becomes a thing again!..

Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread

It’s Spring and you know what that means - blueberry lemon things for days! This Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread is pretty much the perfect Spring breakfast, brunch, or even dessert to make. Monkey bread of any kind has been one of my go-to breakfast options for years now. I think it all started when my little was actually little and monkey bread was one of those things that was easy for little fingers to grab and eat.

This monkey bread here is loaded up with big beautiful fresh blueberries and lemony goodness. It’s bright with the citrus of the lemon zest and has that hint of sweetness from the blueberries. Now, you could top this monkey bread off with some icing drizzle, but I thought it was pretty unneeded. A quick sift of some powdered sugar and some extra lemon zest and it was perfection!…
