When someone gives you ingredients, the only thing to do is think of all the recipes that they the ingredient can be used in. Today I got three very ripe bananas, oh the recipes that come to mind. Blueberry Banana Muffins, Banana Pudding, Banana nut muffins, and the list goes on.
Lucky recipe of tonight....Chocolate Banana Bread!
I made this delicious bread the night before I left for spring break. I was off adventuring in Germany for 10 amazing days. I don't usually sleep on planes so I thought it might help to stay up really late the night before and bake.
I think the best part of loving to cook is having so many cookbooks that you are guarunteed to have one with the recipe you are looking for. Oh another perk, is having extra batter to make muffins!!
