Chocolate Banana Eggs

These sweet scrambled Chocolate Banana Eggs from The Whole Smiths are the perfect breakfast for the mornings that you are just sick.of.eggs. They’re paleo, gluten-free and easy to make.

Banana WHAT? 

Banana eggs. The crazy dish that will leave you scratching your head. You either had them and loved them (most of you) or heard banana and eggs in the same sentence and ran away.

Well, banana eggs are back but with a little twist this time… chocolate. Yep. Chocolate banana eggs. This either makes you extremely excited or you’re frantically scanning for the nearest emergency exit. If the latter is you, please stay. I promise you’ll thank me later.

I ask that you think of banana eggs as one dish, not as the individual components. For example, if I title a dish Whipped Butter Sugar Beaten Eggs and Flour it doesn’t sound nearly as delicious as “a cookie”, right? So think of banana eggs as the sum of it’s parts. A lightly sweetened custard-like scramble. That might make them ease to wrap your head around.

Sweet Scrambled Chocolate Banana Eggs – A convenient breakfast. 

One of the greatest parts about banana eggs is just how easy they are to make on a busy morning.

I mean, essentially they’re like scrambled eggs but one more step. And you won’t get sick of them the same way you get sick of boring old scrambled eggs! Whether you’re making banana eggs before your workday or to get a substantial, protein fueled breakfast into your kids bellies before school, it’s sure to add some peace of mind into your morning.

Here’s another great thing about bananas eggs you can add all sort of additional nutrients to them. I love adding things like chia seeds, flax seeds, unsweetened coconut, fruit or even a drizzle of peanut butter. It makes for a powerful nutrient-dense start to your day that will leave you satiated until lunch. Or at least long enough to resist the office donuts.

And yes, you can even reheat banana eggs. Feel free to make a batch ahead of time to reheat in the morning. But really, they take all of five minutes are best fresh. So take that time for yourself in the morning because you deserve it.

Kids love banana eggs. 

One of the things I hear most often from parents is how can they get their kids to eat healthy breakfasts in the morning? And in particular, how can they get their kids to eat eggs? Well, clearly the secret ingredient that’s been missing all of these years is bananas!

The posts that have made me the happiest over the last year and the ones that you’ve
shared of your kids loving banana eggs. I can’t tell you how many times a parent has reached out to me saying they have tried to get their kids to eat eggs to no avail. BUT! Banana eggs cam along and their kids gobbled them up. I can’t even begin to tell you just how much that means to me. It’s why I’m here. To help you get better foods into your families bellies.

I know how picky kids can be and how draining it can be as a parent to be continuously trying to improve their diets with little results. So to know I can take one thing off your mind in that journey just makes me beam.

If you post your kiddos enjoying their banana eggs, please tag me. Selfishly, it just makes my whole damn day. Besides, I love seeing your adorable kiddos.

FAQ

Are these sweet scrambled eggs Whole30 compliant?

Yes and no. I haven’t gotten a clear cut answer on this but the short of it is, if you become obsessive about banana eggs (and who doesn’t) it’s probably best to keep them out of your Whole30.

Can I make a larger batch of these paleo banana eggs?

Yes! This makes a generous serving so if you are feeding two smaller children, this recipe will suffice. But if you are looking to feed multiple, larger humans double this recipe as needed to accommodate for how many people you are feeding.

 I hate bananas, is there anything I can substitute?

Why yes, there is! Be warned though, they are not going to taste quite as lovely as banana eggs but you can use mashed, cooked sweet potato flesh in lieu of mashed bananas. They won’t be as sweet or custardy but it will do the trick.

TIPS

  • Let your mashed banana sizzle away in the pan a bit before adding the eggs, it will help caramelize the banana a bit and add a deeper flavor.
  • Don’t overmix your eggs as they are cooking as you want lighter, fluffier curds.
  • I never realized just how much bananas vary in size until I tried finding the perfect egg to banana ration for this recipe. The good news is this recipe will even It’s ok if your banana is a little too big or too small, it will still work.
  • Mash the banana until it has the consistency of baby food, it should be smooth with minimal chunks.

    Could I substitute plantains for bananas? As long as they’re super ripe, right? Thanks!

      You could but I don’t think it would give the right consistency or taste.

Including myself. After that, I asked people to Including myself.  After that, I asked people to elaborate if they were willing. I received hundreds of messages with similar themes.  Increases in levels of anxiety, negativity, loneliness. Parents struggling working from home while managing distance learning. Despair, monotony. Unappreciated teachers. People experiencing loss of loved ones on top of it all.  Changes in tolerances levels of what we were willing to accept in relationships and society. Reevaluating careers, relationships and more.  Reading all of your messages, I kept finding myself saying “Uh huh, yep, totally, me too”. I didn’t feel so alone in this and wished I could share all of the responses with you as well.  So let’s do it here. If you’re comfortable, share in the comments how you’re feeling. Others are in the same boat and it helps knowing you are not alone.  In the meantime, it’s something to start turning around. For all of us, and I firmly believe we can. I’m planning to start finding guests and topics for @getwellthypodcast that will help us address this.  I’m also going to share one (little) thing on my stories every day that brings me joy or happiness. My hope is that it will help trigger something in *your* day that brings you joy that you can focus on. I encourage you to share your moments and tag me as well.  I firmly believe all of this will make us stronger in, we just need to actively pull out of this to get there.

Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold salads. Like ice cold.  Like this Thousand Island Wedge Salad. 🥰  I love me a wedge salad but sometimes hate that it doesn’t feel like a complete meal... so I changed it up a bit and added some egg for protein. And bacon because... bacon!  What do you think? Are you in salad season yet or still on soup season?

I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now (blah) but here’s a throwback to when @thepetitepanaderya and I got to be a part of the SB Halftime field team crew in 2016.  It has always been on my bucket list to be on the field for the Halftime show, so when SB was here in Santa Clara, I was going to find a way.  I saw you could sign up to be a part of the field team that puts together the stage so I signed up. It was two weeks of practicing and they paid us minimum wage, although I would have done it for free.  A few hundred people were part of it and we were each assigned to a “cart”. We were taught exactly what to do, how to assemble the various parts of the stage and QUICK. It all had to be put together in around 7 minutes.  We weren’t allowed to have any cell phones out during practices and signed confidentiality waivers. The second week we got to watch the performers rehearse (over and over again). JayZ and Blue Ivy were in the stands watching. Bruno Mars was perfection and nailed everything every time. I was blown away at how talented he was live. Chris Martin was so kind. Beyoncé drove in front of us in her golf cart and waved. She also made us wait in the freezing cold while she tried different hair and fan / wind blowing situations.  Game day. There was a staging area a few miles away that we met at and we were bussed in with police escorts down the 101.  Once at the stadium we hung out with our carts waiting our turn. Everyone was so pumped. As SOON as the second quarter ended it was go time and the adrenaline was pumping. Seriously, that feeling was awesome.  Lucky for us, once we finished building our cart we had wait on the sidelines... right in front.  The energy was intense and I loved every minute of it.  Bigger picture, seeing how everyone worked together flawlessly to create the performance was striking. I’ve never experienced teamwork like this and never thought it would be such an impactful experience.  It was one of the BEST things I’ve ever done as silly as it sounds. Everyone who does it city after city says the same thing.  If you ever have the chance and find the SB in your town, do it. Trust me.
Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone? While some (most) p Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone?  While some (most) people are likely to be shoveling Cool Ranch Doritos down the batch tomorrow... we’ll be whipping up a batch of these Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS!  Yeah, I know. It’s kind of obnoxious because Cool Ranch Doritos are the sh^%. But these at least give you that same zesty flavor and way more than nutrients. I’m kinda obsessed!  Or just eat the Doritos. 🤷🏼‍♀️  While we’re talking chips? What’s your fave? I think mine are the Cool Ranch Doritos.. what can I say...  Now I’m feeling like I sold you on the Doritos rather than the chickpeas! Whoops.  Anyways. Recipe for the CHICKPEAS in my bio.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/cool-ranch-roasted-chickpeas/
