The Raw Truth

Banana Bread

Bananas are actually an herb plant, not a fruit, and we eat its flowering stalk. There are hundreds of varieties of bananas, and they grow wild all

over Maui. A banana tree can grow from seed to fruit in just nine months. These prolific trees provide an excellent source of nourishment and

energy. This is true gorilla food.

SERVES 4

½ cup seeded, soaked dates, drained

4 to 6 bananas, peeled and thickly sliced (about 4 cups)

1 cup raw wheat germ

1 cup sprouted oats or buckwheat

In a food processor, blend all of the ingredients until well combined but still chunky. Form the mixture into small patties and place on a dehydrator
tray. Using one of the methods described here, dehydrate for 18 hours, flipping at least once during the drying time, and then serve.
