    I’m interested in a banana bread recipe that uses the peels too! I’d honestly never heard of cooking with banana peels before

      Sorry for the late reply.

      • 4 bananas, including the peels
      • 2 cups of sugar
      • 1/2 cup of veg oil
      • 3 eggs
      • 3 cups of breadcrumbs*
      • 1 Tbsp of baking powder
      • [optional] 1 cup of chocolate chips
      • cinnamon and sugar (for sprinkling)
      1. Blend together the bananas, sugar, veg oil and eggs, until you get a homogeneous dough. Transfer to a bowl.
      2. Add breadcrumbs and baking powder to the dough, and mix it by hand for a few minutes.
      3. Transfer the dough to a greased and floured cake pan. If using chocolate chips: add half of the dough to the pan, then the chips, then the other half.
      4. Bake it at 180°C, for roughly 20min**.
      5. Take it off the pan still hot, and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar.

      *the recipe itself doesn’t use flour, only breadcrumbs. Use preferably light-coloured ones.

      **don’t trust the time alone, as it varies a bit (I think that it has to do with the bananas); pierce the cake with a wooden toothpick and check if it comes off clean.
