Ingredients
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine cocoa, oil and bananas in a food processor or blender. Puree
until smooth. Combine sugar, eggs, flour and banana mixture in a
mixing bowl. Beat until blended, then stir in the nuts.
Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake
for 15-20 minutes or until done. Toothpick inserted into center
should come out clean. (My suggestion - line baking pan with waxed
paper and spray with non-stick vegetable spray.) Cut into 2 1/4 inch
squares when cool.

Foods rich in lycopene (includes grapefruit, red peppers & sweet gourd) The phytochemical lycopene is a simple chemical compound and a member of the carotenid family. It is behind the red color of a good number of natural foods. Usefully, unlike numerous other nutrients, it is not damaged during the cooking process, but is observably made more effective by being heated. . Lycoprene's most important advantage is that it serves as an antioxidant and is thought to be an asset in the battle to reduce the chances of cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most effective eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is associated with skin aging. It's also believed to slow down the development of atherosclerosis. |
