I tell him it's not cake, it's "bread". Banana bread.
He tells me it's not healthy.
I tell him it's healthy because I added poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds and other seeds I had lying around in the cupboard.
Basically, it's just bananas and seeds. What's there to argue about?!
Conclusion: I've had this for breakfast and it's lush. End of story (well not really, scroll down if you want the recipe!)
Banana bread recipe
Ingredients:
- 100g butter
- 150g golden caster sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 250 plain flour
- 100ml milk (I used skimmed and it worked fine)
- 2 tsp bicarb of soda
- 3 super ripe mashed bananas
- optional extras: seeds, nuts, chocolate chips...
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180C and line a loaf tin.
- Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
- Add the eggs and beat it all together.
- Add the flour, bicarb and milk. Mix together well.
- Add mashed bananas, and extras if using.
- Pour mix into lined tin and bang in the oven until cooked (after 25min skewer was still coming out covered in cake goo so I turned the temperature down to 175C for an extra 20min and it worked a treat)

Cake seems to be an excellent choice for breakfast!
Banana bread is clearly a caveat in the No Cake for Breakfast Rule of Order.
HURRAY FOR THE RECIPE!!!
You're over 18 = you can do whatever the hell you want, whenever the hell you want.
I love Banana Bread - I'd definitely eat it for breakfast too. In fact, I think I have eaten it for breakfast on a few occassions.

Wonderful breakfast choice - we make banana and walnut muffins which is effectively cake - probably worse than cake as it has lots of oil in it...muffin is a breakfast snack so....who is HE anyway? Spoilsport! xxx
hihi my boyfriend!!
actually it's been a wonderful breakfast i must say, very filling which stops me from snacking before lunch, that has to be a massive bonus!!
Hi there! I just read your comment about the snow. Actually I live in the snowy part of Florida. Just kidding (tee hee)!
Banana bread is so not cake, though I don't have a problem eating cake for breakfast either :) It sounds wonderful and even healthier with all of those seeds.
Yum that looks delicious.
Sack the boyfriend I say. ;)
That is bread. And therefore, is acceptable for breakfast. Plus, it's got bananas in it. Which = one of your 5 a day. Therefore, healthy breakfast bread!
Banana bread is gorgeous for brekkie, especially slightly toasted with butter ;o)

No doubt about it, cake and breakfast do go together. I've been contemplating a slice of four layer chocolate birthday cake for mine.
