As Wiebke and I (Reetta) are both enjoying our annual trip back home to visit family and friends, we thought it would be nice to start a blog to share our experiences. We have talked about starting a blog for a while, but as writing isn't the greatest passion for neither of us it hasn't been on top of the priority list. However, we are passionate about sharing tips and tricks about health and wellbeing so here we go!
One of my favourite things about Finnish summer is berry picking. There is something meditative about being in absolute silence in the middle of the forest and collecting different types of berries that are so different in taste than the berries we normally get. They are in their absolute purest form in various shapes and sizes. Incredibly beautiful!
My first catch was 7 litres of blueberries. As I had some overripe bananas that needed to be used I thought I'll add some of these beautiful berries to my banana bread dough.
And the recipe goes:
- 1 1/2 cup gluten free flour (eg buckwheat)
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2/3 cup blueberries
Mix all ingredients together and bake in 180C for about 40 minutes.
Hope you enjoy xxx
