My one-year-old son LOVES fruit.  He loves veggies.  He loves all of the healthy food, and is so easy to feed!  My 6-year-old daughter, however, would prefer to live on a diet of processed, unhealthy foods.  It is torture trying to get her to eat anything healthy.  This can pose a particular challenge when I pack her lunches for school.  She would love if I packed her lunchables everyday, but giving her a balanced diet of wholesome foods is a priority of mine.  That is why I end up hiding fruits and veggies in her lunches.  So, in my pursuit of health(ier) foods, I decided to put together an organic banana bread recipe to add to her lunch this week.

Organic Banana Bread Recipe

This organic banana bread recipe has been a favorite of hers since she was a toddler.  I have modified it over the years, swapping in maple syrup for organic sugar cane, and adding in organic ingredients as we went along.  I now make it completely organic, because the ingredients that are in this organic banana bread recipe are ingredients that I typically buy organic.  Now, I will say that not everything I buy is organic… sometimes I am not willing to pay the high premium to buy organic versus non-organic. For instance, when it comes to fruit, I generally buy organic fruit for the dirty dozen, and otherwise, I will shop for a good deal or the freshest looking produce.

One last thing, my daughter is getting to the age where I want to start teaching her about cooking/baking, but in a way that she will find engaging.  I decided to make a coloring page with the ingredients of our banana bread.  She could color as I baked, and also learn about the ingredients in the organic banana bread recipe.  I have included a free printable of the banana bread coloring page. You have a little one at your table to entertain while you cook!

      Hi Terisa,

      I would use 3/4 cup of cane sugar to substitute the maple syrup.

    I am a big fan of banana bread and adding syrup sounds delicious. I’ll be making a loaf or two tonight now that you’ve planted the idea. 🙂
