One smart
thing i have learnt over the years, the best way to avoid the “Not amused”
looks of the head crown as the bananas turn black lolz, is to bake them, cook
them, fry them or hide them hehehe.
But I
usually bake them as they are the ideal ones to be mashed and baked
But
honestly I really wonder sometimes why are only the bananas left over in the
fruit tray and it’s always the last 2/3 and then they stay in the line of fire
lolzzz
I was noticing the last 2 bananas turn brown
then darker and darker so I planned to bake Cookies
So this
time I have added much more in it and they turned out really very delish.
I added,
dates, walnuts, almonds, oats and chocolate
I had no
simple bake chocolate at home, but had the bar with cranberry and grapes so I
cut them in small pieces and tucked them on the cookies, they tasted so
heavenly yummz
They are
baked so soft and fluffy, full with the banana flavor and the crunch of all the nuts
Simple and quick and easy to make, very practical as a take away snack on way to work : )
This is
what you need;
3 extra
ripe bananas (mashed)
1 cup AP
flour
¼ cup organic
honey
1 large egg
½ cup soft
butter
½ tsp of
soda bicarbonate
1-2 tsp organic
honey
½ cup of
Walnuts and Almonds mixed
¾ cup of
oats
½ cup
pitted and chopped dates
¼ bar of
chocolate, chopped in squares
Sift the flour and Soda in a bowl
Mash the bananas
Beat the butterand suga fluffy
Add in the flour and mix gently
sprinkle all nuts and the choclate and mix
(You can add more nuts of your choice like Hazel nuts Pecan nuts and and and …I added cranberries and dry raisins last time; they give a very chewy taste)
Fold in the mash bananas and mix all well
Drop the batter on a greased tray keeping a 2cm distance in each cookie
-keep an
eye as they should not burn, the banana may turn darker very fast, we just need
to bake the flour and 20 minutes are totally perfect
-once they
are done, shift them onto the cooling wire with the help of a spatula
-they stay
soft and eatable till 4-5 days, you can keep them in the fridge, or good packed, to give away before you eat them all : )
Do try
them, a perfect snack for your tea time as well.
You can
sprinkle castor sugar once they are out of the oven, I did not as I added Honey
and the bananas were sweet too.
Enjoy the “coming
winter” baking time :)
