Leftovers in porridge today: carrot ends, orange juice, garlic, Greek yoghurt, birdseed, frozen pumpkin, frozen heavy cake, frozen whole bananas plus extra skins #BananaBreadDay, foam starch packing peanuts, Lingham's Extra Hot Chilli Sauce, almond milk, soya milk, homemade blackcurrant jelly

All of the ingredients mentioned in the tweet plus the implied oats, except the packing peanuts that I forgot until too late, laid out on the worktop

All of the ingredients except the milk, yoghurt and jelly, more or less finely chopped as necessary, in the pan before cooking. The packing peanuts are mostly air, so it looks like it's ridiculously over full, but really it's just quite excessive

The finished porridge in the pan, extremely thick and a sort of dirty pale brown, with unshelled sunflower seeds and tiny chunks of carrot and pumpkin visible under the surface. On top is a big splodge of Greek yoghurt with a large spoonful of blackcurrant jelly in the middle, surrounded by thin slices of skin-on banana

While the exact origins of banana bread are debated, many believe it rose to popularity in the late 19th century alongside the rise of commercially available baking soda and baking powder. This allowed for the creation of quick breads

👉 Fun Fact, we always now have a hand or so of Bananas in our deep freeze ready to go for Banana Bread, and today one of my chores is to cut up about 20 zucchinis for the same plan for zucchini bread too.

Today, Feb 23, 2025, is #BananaBreadDay!
