The Closet Housewife

I used to be very intimidated by baking. Whenever I’d see homemade pastries I’d think, how’d they do that!? Buying sweets from a store, you don’t really think much of the effort put into making them or care less of the ingredients they put in it. These were my motivations in learning how to bake from scratch. 

I thought, what if I could make healthier options for the pastries I like to snack on too? So I scoured the internet for healthier recipes and figured out which ones I trusted. I compared their ingredients and methods then came up with my own version through careful trial and error.

Everyone loves banana bread as a snack any time of the day or for breakfast with a cup of coffee!  This particular recipe I’m sharing with you is naturally sweetened through the prunes so it doesn’t need a lot of sugar. Half a cup is enough. It’s fibrous, guiltless and super yummy! I’ve baked this well over 10 times and satisfied a lot of hungry tummies. I’ve tried it with langka too instead of prunes! Go for all wheat flour if you wish or if wheat isn’t available to you, all purpose flour works just as well. 

I encourage all girls to try baking this as a sweet gesture to your boyfriends, mommies as baon for their kids and for bored teens… do something unexpected for your parents.

Recipe follows. Happy baking!
