Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Cake

As days dwindle down in the month of February, I’m astounded by how much I’ve already accomplished in the new year.  There were times  (oh so many times) over the past few years when I questioned my decisions.  Going back to school, leaving my career, leaving my city… This month has really sealed it for me.  I made the right decision.  If you’re not feeling satisfaction in your current life, it is NEVER too late to start over and follow your dreams.  Fear is the biggest obstacle.  

I will soon have time to post new recipes on a regular basis but for now I’ve enlisted a few more friends to fill the void.  Today’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Cake is from my neighbor, Sherron of Simply Gourmet. We were blog friends before finally meeting in person and I’m so happy to know her.  She’s awesome and her blog is fantastic.  Beautiful recipes, gorgeous photos.  Make sure to visit her site and say hello!

What a delight it is to be guest posting on a page that I was a fan of long before Jennifer and I became friends. The first recipe that I saved and printed was her pumpkin ravioli.

It encouraged me to make my first batch of fresh pasta and purchase my own pasta machine. The simplicity and beauty of her photos are just a few more reasons why I enjoy Savory Simple.

It was shortly before her ravioli post that I started my own food blog, Simply Gourmet. I have been cooking forever it would seem, growing up in the restaurant business taught me a lot about food and people. I went on to become a food photographer and recipe developer/writer.

Honey Nut Sunflower Granola Bars

2013 is off to quite an amazing start. A lot of very exciting things are happening at Savory Simple headquarters. I can’t go into many details right now but you’ll probably be hearing less from me for the month of January (and possibly part of February). I will try to check in regularly, hopefully at least once per week.

I can say that I’m working on a very fun recipe project and I am so excited to share it with all of you soon! For now, here’s a tasty honey nut sunflower granola bar recipe that’s both vegan and gluten free. I recently discovered sunflower butter and am loving it in baked goods. The consistency is similar to nut butters but with a more unique flavor. These bars are not as soft and chewy as other granola bars I’ve shared; they’re more dense and firm. A bit crunchy without being dry. Enjoy!
