Hi! I made this (vegan pb banana bread cake) & the raw cocoa snowballs over the weekend & everything turned out wonderful! The cake is so rich! I almost didn't make it because almond flour was so expensive & I was hesitant to grind almonds (I had an immersion blender that did the trick though!). The snowballs are so good that even my meat-eating husband enjoyed them! I will have to keep a stash in the freezer for a healthy fudge fix! Thank you.

I go through stages of eating a certain food excessively. Right now that would be kale chips but I did go through a banana stage recently too. Maybe it's in the air : )

My weekend indulgence? An iced organic chai tea from Starbucks. I get it unsweetened and add my own agave, yum!

I need to try some of the kale chip goodness on tomatoes and other veggies. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Thanks for popping over to my blog!!

ahahaha, I'm totally with you on the word verification thing. It annoys me so much! Your banana bread cake looks amazing. I just love moist (haha I don't like that word either) and gooey baked goods. Have a lovely night!

Between you and VeggieGirl, you both always make me wanna bake, and I am not a baker...AT ALL! Notice, no yummy baked goods on my blog, ever!! I usually buy my desserts, very un-Martha like of me! Or shall I say, un-Averie like! :)

Running with the family! I ran with a friend yesterday and it was so nice! Lol I'm glad you weren't planning on making any changes to your blog ;)

Oof that banana bread cake looks sooo delicious!

Hmm.. does extra sleep count as smething? lol

OH. M. GEE.
I just made your Chocolate Coconut Snowballs, like I said I was going to, and I have to say I'm officially in love with you! But this is also great news because it means now I'm 2 for 2 with your recipes and from now on I'll just have to make more, because clearly, they are all DELISH!
And you are welcome for the award! I love how inspiring and amazing you and your blog are.
Hope you're having a great weekend, Averie!

Banana bread looks super yummy. Going along with your post yesterday in what you like in a blog. I agree with majority of what others said. That each blog is different, with that person or persons :) personality shining through. I enjoy blogs that are fun, honest, provide good information and easy to follow. And good food of course. I like to read many different "styles" of blogs that way I can variety!

Happy Saturday Ms Averie!!! Lovin the cake.. not only does it looks super pretty with the banana slices on top but it sounds relatively easy to make!

I really don't "splurge" on weekends.. in fact, no I def dont. lol Im pretty consistent in what I eat. We usually eat out once on a weekend but thats the only change! I tend to cook a "linner" early din/late lunch on Saturdays and Sundays which is nice.. not something I can do on a weekday.

SOO interesting that you are looking into homeschooling your beautiful daughter. I totally give you credit. I think the educational freedom you have with that is wonderful ALSO its a great way to form a stronger relationship with one another. I support ya... but yeah, teaching can be tough.. I love the kids but to be honest it's a ton of paperwork AND dealing with parents can totally suck at times.

;)Enjoy your weekend.

2009-10-24T13:21:12.912-07:00

thanks for your comment! I made it late after the baby was in bed and just cut and ate it!! I added pumpkin in it with the bananas. It tastes like peanut butter cake! It didn't rise nicely and doesn't look as good as yours but I will take a picture next time. I just want a taste too - but then what do you do with the rest of it!!?? I am very active but need more control and to realize alot of what I try is extra/dessert!

ohh what a good Q about the drinks onthe weekends!...

2009-10-24T12:56:37.217-07:00

ohh what a good Q about the drinks onthe weekends! I sometimes like to get a lattee or cappucino on the weekends as a treat and not to much ever get the during the week. I tend to not want all the extra calories from the milk, but on the weekends I allow myself to get one!!

the recipe looks FANTASTIC!!

I love banana bread! The ingredients of this recipe look great, so I'll make sure to try and make my own

2009-10-24T11:35:08.851-07:00

I must have missed something in an earlier post (or I've gotten behind again!) because I didn't see the question about blogging preferences. I'm with the others though - WOOHOO for no word verification! I don't really ever have probs with blogspot, but when I leave comments on Wordpress blogs I always have to hit the "submit" button a few times before it actually goes.

Ok I hope you are working on that recipe book..you are unbelievably talented Averie!

I guess I'd have to say I drink an occasional diet coke (the HORROR!) on the weekend or if I go out to dinner. I know, very bad but it could be worse right?

2009-10-24T10:11:42.500-07:00

That's so sweet about the family run! Enjoy it!

I hear you on the nanners! There have been a few times when my grocery store has been out of them, and I basically go into a panic mode haha. So many of my meals and recipes, especially my breakfasts, have bananas in them!

LOVE boat pose! It is such an amazing ab workout!

2009-10-24T09:36:33.509-07:00

YUM! This looks amazing! I will be picking up more ninners later today! Have you tried baking this cake with Agave instead of sugar? I will have to experiment!
Thank you again for another great recipe ;)

2009-10-24T08:36:35.676-07:00

haha seriously, the word verification will make or break if i leave a comment on someones blog -- such a hassle!

those sun dried tomatos are fabbbbbbie! one of my favorite sandwich toppers but I can't seem to find any that don't come packed in oil. No me gusta :(

don't even get me started on that bread... hot damn!

have a great run with your lovies :) tres cute!!

happy happy weekend, Averie! love you!

2009-10-24T07:03:41.395-07:00

OMG I'm glad you asked. Thanks for the opportunity to vent! A man I know (who is by no means vegetarian or vegan) told me he is planning a vegan raw food workshop aimed at helping diabetics. Considering he just discovered raw food a few days ago and doesn't even believe in this way of life, I think he is not qualified to teach this class and (quite frankly) is a hypocrite. I'm angry at him and worried about the potential attendees at the workshop who might get incorrect info on raw food.

Whew! Thanks, it feels better to get it off my chest. This is the best blog ever :D

Dear Averie,

Please slow down with all the awesome recipes you have been blogging about. Me and my kitchen can't keep up with all the vegan goodness!

Wow, that peanut butter banana cake looks delicious and just made my stomach growl!!!

I saw your comment about the pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies - I've made it a goal to upload the recipe today and you will be the first to know when I do!! :) xoxo!

2009-10-24T05:08:02.961-07:00

Girl! Could you possibly have ANY foods on here that I don't want to eat?!? They are look divine. I considered switching to vegetarian a few months ago, but never made the full switch. With your goodies I feel like I could do it.

Lovin' all the goodies and the boat pose! Another favorite :)

2009-10-24T03:55:23.928-07:00

OMG, so making that banana bread cake this weekend! And the snowballs.

I tend to bake and cook a lot more on the weekends. During the week I don't have the time. Really though, the weekends are just totally laid back, no pressure. Love that.

I love that you share so many great recipes. Now I just need an Excalibur...
