How many of you have some
brown spotted bananas on your counter?
Do you find yourself in this predicament on a regular basis?
I know I do!
There is just something about that big bag of bananas hanging out at Costco that lures me in every time.
There is just something about that big bag of bananas hanging out at Costco that lures me in every time.
“Buy Me!” they seem to say.
“I am the only thing in this store for under $2”
I say “Amen” under my breath and come home
with at least one bag every time.
Well as of Monday I had a total of
10 big bad bananas turning all spotty on me.
(Not to mention I’ll be heading to Costco soon and you know those bananas will be calling to me again…..)
Since I already have a Ziploc bag full of ripe bananas in the freezer…I rolled up my sleeves and got a bakin’.
I have two wonderful banana bread recipes on the site. This fine lookin’ dandy is Buttery Blonde Banana Bread. If you are in the mood for rich, pound cake like banana bread hold on to your hats. This recipe is going to blow your pound-cake-lovin mind.
Here we have Best Banana Bread. If you are in love with sugary-crusty-exteriors on your Banana Bread…make this treasure of a recipe. This lovely Best Banana Bread had her picture retaken a couple of days ago, and isn’t she looking snazzy. My old pictures of her were NOT kind.
I have been on the look out lately for a great Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe. I tried a couple of recipes this week and this fine dandy was definitely worth sharing! The “fat” the recipe calls for is mayonnaise! Who would have thought. I used Miracle Whip Light and they were great! My kids gobbled them up in a quick hurry and they came together in a snap. They are very light and sweet. Hope you like them as much as we do.
Put those brown spotted bananas to good use my friends! You’re family will love you for it!
Then buy another big bag of bananas at Costco…..that’s a good chunk of fruit for $1.39!
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

1. In a medium sized bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
2. In your Kitchen Aid or in a mixing bowl beat the egg. Add the bananas and mix until they are all mashed up and smooth.
3. Add the mayonnaise to the banana mixture and mix for 30 seconds.
4. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.

I made these this morning and they are almost gone already! EVERYONE is raving about them. All I can say is WOW! Great recipe!
This was such an easy recipe to follow.Made these muffins twice and it was a hit each time.
Have made these before, & I loved them. Yesterday I made them for my very fussy 4 & 7 year old grandsons. They loved them! They asked if they could take some home with them. Of course I said “Yes!”
I was a little skeptical about the mayo in the muffin recipe but they are absolutely fabulous!
