I just had to share these recipes with you, coincidentally they all have banana in them. They are both healthy and you can also sneak stuff in them too! I've made the first two twice now, they are super easy, fun, cheap and delish! You can play around with any of these and also custom make them, or create one of your own.
Chunky Monkey Bites
14 oz. banana-nut muffin mix
1/4 c. canola oil
1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c. banana baby food (I used a real banana and mashed it slightly, so you still had some soft chunks.)
3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chunks
2/3 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 400*F. Spray 2 baking sheets , set aside. In a large bowl, combine muffin mix, oil, sugar, eggs and baby food , stirring with wooden spoon until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and walnuts. Drop heaping tablespoons of the dough on baking sheets, spacing 2 inch apart. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on wire rack . Makes about 24 bites.
Peanut Butter Banana Bread...I used Natural peanut butter and omitted the nuts...you can customize this. Who doesn't love peanut butter and banana sandwiches? Well, I'm sure a lot of people, but even they can't resist this bread! Give it a try, it's inexpensive and yummy!
