Pregnancy Recipes

I thought maybe we could start a recipe thread for recipes we are eating?

Might be silly, but I thought of it when I made this recipe that I altered so it has added baby growing nutrients (flax seed, wlanuts, whole wheat flour)

Banana Bread
Serves 8
Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 ½ C whole wheat flour
½ C white flour
¾ C sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3Tbsp Flax Seed
3-4 large ripe bananas, mashed
¼ C skim milk
2 egg whites
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional Addition(1 C fresh or frozen raspberries or ½ C apple sauce)
1/2 Cup Walnuts
Preparation
Heat oven to 350?. Coat an 8” loaf pan with cooking spray. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, & flax seed whisk to blend. Make a well in center; set aside.

In another bowl, combine bananas, milk, eggs, and vanilla; fold in raspberries & other optional addition.
Pour batter into center of dry ingredients; fold together until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into pan; bake 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely.
Slice before wrapping individually.
