From Elise. I had some bananas that needed to be used and I didn't want to go the typical banana bread/muffin route. A cookie seemed like the next logical option.
It's a standard size cookie batch with about an extra half cup of flour to presumably deal with the extra moisture of the 2 large bananas I used.
I'm curious if ripe bananas could be used in anything other than baked desserts.
Sourced from Farmgirl. I was actually little disappointed by this recipe. I was expecting something more like monkey bread, but it's basically just a banana walnut bread with way too much chocolate and sugar. Oh, and the "Mexican" is just the addition of some cinnamon.
I had some bananas going bad so I figured I would make some banana bread. Followed something from Elise, but I added some nutmeg and cinnamon. I also brought the sugar down to 3/4 cup instead of 1 though I feel that maybe it could have used the full amount or maybe a bit more vanilla. In retrospect, I'm second-guessing my decision to not use any walnuts.
I bought these red bananas on a whim. They're supposed to have a hint of raspberry. I had a lengthy discussion about them with a friend before actually having one, but the conversation would have been enough. The raspberry taste is just tartness in the beginning which subsides as quickly as the novelty of having a red banana. They're almost double the price per pound of regular bananas so unless I have a real reason for having red-skinned (looks disappointingly normal on the inside) bananas, I won't buy them again.
This, on the other hand, is the best juice ever. I've been a Pineapple-Orange-Banana man for quite some time, but this is newcomer may have converted me. To quote succinctly: "...a breeze rolled in, and I jizzed in my pants." Again.
