Banana Smoothie
(to read original recipe click on words above)

1/2 cup goat milk
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 tablespoon sugar ( I didnt have any honey... see why I need bees, lol)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 frozen sliced ripe large banana (mine was not frozen)
2 tablespoons of goat yogurt

Banana Bread
(to read original recipe click on words above)

2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium (1 cup) ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper with cooking spray.

Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl whisk bananas, eggs oil, milk and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula just until moistened. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool bread in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a wire rack.

* I baked 4 loaves today, 2 with choc. chips & 2 without. ( I gave my momma 1 loaf with choc. chips).
