If you were to ask me what is my favorite type of bread, I’d have to say that it’s banana bread. I know, this is kind of cheating. It seems as though whenever I’m to choose between savory or sweet, I will choose sweet. Always.
So this morning I tried something a little bit different. Instead of making a sweet smoothie, or having a blueberry bagel, I decided to have something savory. Namely salmon with fried garlic bits and hollandaise sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this normally. But in the morning? Wow, this was the worst decision.
You know when you eat something garlic-y and the taste stays in your mouth for a long time? Well the taste of garlic would not leave. No matter how many times I brushed my teeth. No matter how many mints I sucked on, or pieces of gum I chewed. I had vampire-repellent breath.
So needless to say, I had a hankering for something sweet all day to balance out this savory breakfast that I thought would be a good idea (at the time. But never again)
Typically when I make banana bread, I will make my Peanut Butter Banana Bread. But this time, I wanted something different.
This Maple Oatmeal Banana Bread was the perfect end to the day. Next time, I will remember to start with this instead.
