Dr. Jenkins’s plant-based journey started 7 years ago when her scariest encounter of wearing a heart monitor because of increased tightening, chest pain, and stress levels were at an all-time high.   Knowing that her family had a history of chronic disease (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, etc.) and that her paternal grandfather and father passed away at a very young age, she knew she had to do something different and so she did.

It was also through embracing this lifestyle, she was able to lose over 80-pounds and promote a healthier lifestyle where she now consults and teaches the blueprint to both individuals and corporations on how to integrate and transition.

Dr. Jenkins earned a Ph.D. in public policy from the University of Arkansas, an MPH from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and a B.S. from Philander Smith College. She also holds a non-profit graduate certification from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and certifications from both T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at Cornell University (New York) and Emory University (Georgia) in plant-based nutrition and diabetes management.

She has been recognized for her achievements and held numerous national and local board appointments, including the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Health Equity Council, a subject matter expert in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)  by the Alliance for Reaching Community Health Equity, Arkansas Business 40 Under 40, a national fellow for Association for Black Foundation Executives (ABFE), and currently serves on the Board of Directors for Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Board of Trustee member for Philander Smith College.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cups mashed very ripe banana 3.5 medium to large bananas
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/3 cup plant-based milk almond sweetened
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted OR 1/3 cup of vegan butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup OR 2 tablespoons of molasses
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats Gluten Free
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups spelt flour or whole-grain spelt flour
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
  • Toppings: vegan ice cream, chocolate chips, O’nita Lee Foods granola, cherries, strawberries, nutmeg, cinnamon and coconut brown sugar.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil and set aside or use vegan butter
  • In a large bowl, mash the banana until almost smooth.
  • Combine the mashed banana with the wet ingredients below into a large mixing bowl.  Feel free to use the hands-free mixer. Blend for about 5-8 minutes on low to medium speed.
  • Stir the wet ingredients of ground flax, milk, melted oil (or vegan butter) maple syrup, and vanilla into the banana until combined.
  • Stir the dry ingredients (sugar, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour) into a separate bowl.  For a finer option, you can use a shifter to “shift” the dry ingredients prior to mixing with the wet ingredients.
  • Add all the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gradually.  Please do not add all at once. Continue to blend for about 5-8 minutes until smooth on a low to medium speed.
  • Spoon the dough into the loaf pan and spread out evenly. Add your desired toppings and gently press them into the dough to adhere.
  • Additionally, you can spoon the dough into a muffin pan. Prepare the muffin pan the same as the loaf pan, bake on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, add your desired toppings and sprinkle additional cinnamon, nutmeg and coconut sugar if desired.
