• banana cream pie

  

  This came about simply because I wanted to try out a Nilla Wafer crust and also had a couple of bananas to spare that weren’t overripe. You want to use bananas that are just ripe, the kind you would normally eat as is, and not the kind of overripe bananas you would use for banana […]

• boñelos aga

  

  These are banana donuts. Or doughnuts, whichever you prefer. The recipe is from Guam, but I added a few ingredients that are usually not in the original recipe, like vanilla extract and cinnamon. There is another traditional donut recipe that utilizes a specific yam instead of bananas, but that kind of yam is difficult to […]

  Good Morning! Ben and I are celebrating one of our anniversaries! Today is the anniversary of the day we met, sixteen years ago! Crazy, huh? Even though we also have a wedding anniversary every June and usually do not have big celebrations with either, this one feels more special to us. I think because for […]

• banana caramel bread pudding

  

  I know what you are thinking: Why on earth would you make a loaf of yeast risen banana bread for the sole purpose of turning it into a banana bread pudding? Wouldn’t it have been easier to just add bananas to a traditional bread pudding recipe? The answer is: Because I had time, and yes, […]

• rustic banana yeast bread

  

  This was easy. Easy-peasy. I took the no-knead bread floating around the internet, and decided to enrich the dough somewhat, adding a little butter, egg, and of course, bananas! This meant I had to let it rise for only one hour, followed by letting it rise slowly in the fridge for about 22-24 hours.   […]

• elvis fluffernutter cookies

  

  These cookies are made with brown butter, mashed bananas, maple and vanilla extracts, raw honey, chopped bacon, peanut butter, peanut brittle, and mini marshmallows! It’s based on two sandwiches, the Elvis (bacon, bananas, marshmallow, and sometimes honey), and the fluffernutter (peanut butter and marshmallow). I decided to go with less flour and to brown the […]

• banana bread

  

  Happy December! What a year it has been! Over the past year, I’ve been perfecting how to make a humongous loaf of banana bread using a Pullman loaf pan. I’ve probably made one of these once every other month for the past year. I bring them in to work. I have a lot of coworkers. […]

• red quinoa banana oat bars

  

  Sometimes you come across a recipe online that is so basic, so memorable, that you make a mental note of it and try to recreate it without needing to look at the source online, because it’s incredibly easy and basic. And after making it a few times, you’ve made some minor changes and tweaks, and […]

• banana tahini muffins

  

  A question. At what point does an ingredient get to be part of the name for the recipe? Does it need to be a prominent flavor component? Does it need to be a certain percentage of the overall weight of the finished product? I won’t bore you with the details, but today I had the […]
