Ghetto Banana Oat Chunk


As a proud member of the Bryan Hall Kitchen Club, I would like to share with you my first Bryan-Born cluster-fuck of a recipe!

 The Bryan Hall kitchen was best described by my roommate Colleen as the kitchen used in Jurrasic Park.  There is a striking resemblance.

Sooo with a few mushy bananas from the dining hall, applesauce, oats, and walnuts, I thought I'd try to whip together a home go-to ...
Banana Bread.

Armed with my goods, I headed to the dungeon.
To have the key to Bryan kitchen is to unlock a world of strange out of date kitchen devices, crusty pans, and sticky utensils. Somehow everything has a residue, and smells like a nursing home. :) Yummy! Let's get cookin'!

Ghetto Banana Oat Chunk


Thanks to lack of ingredients and a muffin tin I dubb thee... CHUNK!
Not quite a loaf. Definately no muffin... 
What you Need
- 2 Spotted/brown bananas
- 1/2 cup of Applesauce
-1 egg
-1/2 cup sugar
-1 cup flour
-1/2 cup oats
splash of vanilla
cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
Walnuts 
cinnamon sugar /cocoa powder for dusting
**Warning I did not use actual measurements for the baking powder and soda b/c everything was STICKY and gross!**

Preheat Oven to 350
(The oven I used was not accurate and kiiiinda burnt the top of my banana chunk)

1. Mash up your naners real good. Add in applesauce, egg, sugar, and vanilla.
2. In separate bowl combine dry ingredients... Flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and even cocoa powder if you are a chocaholic. 

3. Combine wet and dry ingridents. Mixy.

4. Grease your lil' pan... 

4. Create an added sweet crunch on top with crushed walnuts, and cinnamon sugar... And wish the lil' guy luck! There he goes!
WOW YOU may be surprised that there is NO FAT in this here naner-bread!
Yupp! Applesauce and mashed bananas gives enough moisture and richness that you don't need any oil or butter! Amazing!

We made it out of Bryan Kitchen alive... Now pour a big ol' glass of milk, and butter up a slice of warm banana oat chunk... A wholesome, ghetto-baked treat!! 

ADDED HEALTHY GOODNESS
* Oats - dietary fiber and whole grain
* Walnuts - Rich in Omega-3 and minerals
* Applesauce - Alternative to Oil




Who says you can't eat good in the ghetto?


Just for fun... change the words to...
"I'm not a loaf
...Not quite a muffin!"
