Get more potassium.

That was what my doctor said.

I've been low in potassium for a few years now. 

I know.

Eat a banana. 

Believe me, I try, but I don't like them.

A banana is the best, most convenient way to get the right amount daily potassium.  

But, it's a banana.

Sigh.

I love most fruit, but really don't like the texture of a banana.

Most of the time I find it either underripe or too ripe...either way it's gross.

But my doctor said that I have to, so I only have one solution...

Banana bread.

I love banana bread, so this could be an excellent solution to my deficiency.

2 eggs or 2 egg equivalent of Bob's Red Mill egg replacer

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon (or more)

2 cups flour

Enjoy your boost of potassium! 

This is definitely way better than eating a banana 

and my doctor will be proud of me too.
