Welcome to the Granola Diaries!
This blog is intended to share delicious and nourishing recipes, showing you that any recipe can be made HEALTHY.
I have 3 main criteria for any of my recipes:
I believe that preventative medicine starts with what we put in our bodies. So many health conditions are brought on by poor diet, or by stress, which could have been caused by poor diet. Every time you eat is a chance to NOURISH your body, with micronutrients, vitamins, minerals, protein, carbs, etc.
I believe if you want a cookie, you should have a cookie. But if you have the option between a cookie void of ANY nutrition, versus a cookie that is also rich in zinc, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants, why not go for the latter? Your body (and you!) will thank you.
We must think of food as FUEL and NOURISHMENT.
The Granola Diaries is here to provide you with recipes and meal ideas that nourish your body, are easy to make, and are actually delicious!
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” (Hippocrates)
Paleo Tahini Banana Bread – that’s a lot to take in. Let’s break it down…
Paleo: ya know, nothing processed, all real food, etc…
Tahini: creamy, delicious goodness & one of the best sources of calcium
Banana Bread: basically the best treat, but I didn’t really need to tell you that
Are you on board yet?
The 2 main ingredients of this bread are in the title: Tahini & Banana. Add some almond flour to give it a “bready” texture, some eggs to bind it all together, and a touch of honey to sweeten it ever-so-slightly, and that’s it! You could also leave the honey out and make it less sweet. OR, you could add in chocolate chips and make it more sweet. Go crazy.

I loved topping my Tahini Banana Bread with even more Tahini (!!!) and some yogurt and granola. Also, it would be delicious with a drizzle of honey. And on its own!
