yamanana bread

19Jan11

yamanana bread is ideal for post-workout nutrition, breakfast and a quick complete snack. it is the perfect combination of protein (eggs), carbs (yam & banana) and good fats (coconut oil). there are many possibilities with this dish, so as always feel free to take some liberties with it. i don’t know exactly where this recipe originated from, so my guesses are the docs at franson family chiropractic, merrimack family chiropractic and bonfire health.

ingredients:

• 2 large yams- baked, boiled or steamed & remove skin
• 3 bananas (riper the better)
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 2 tablespoons sifted coconut flour (or 1/4 cup almond flour/meal)- used to make this more of a bread than a quiche
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• pinch of sea salt
• coconut flakes to top (optional)
• 1 apple, diced to top (optional)

directions:

• turn oven to 350 degrees
• grease 2 glass loaf pans or a 9×9 glass baking dish with coconut oil
• in a large bowl mash yams
• add in bananas & mix together with a hand mixer
• in a medium bowl, whisk eggs
• whisk in cinnamon, nutmeg & salt
• pour egg mixture into the yam & banana mix
• stir in coconut oil
• add in coconut/almond flour & hand mix until well combine
• pour mixture into dish
• top with coconut flakes and/or apple
• bake in over for 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
