A Delicious Second Life for Less Than Perky Bananas!
here I was...munching a few stolen chocolate chips, and out of nowhere there they were..
Dun Dun Duuunnnnn
My bananas have gone brown..not like the delicious caramel or even chai tea warm brown, a mushy, vulgar excuse for the happy, perky fruit that once was.
Dropping to my knees, I demanded the gods of fruit to spare such young specimens as what not their fault I forgot to eat them at an earlier time.
But thankfully, the gods of all things fruity took pity on my pleas and delivered with a small puff of pink smoke a recipe to end all recipes: Banana Heaven.

Sorry there are no pictures in the tutorial (my hands were a bit goopy)

Step 1
3-4 (very) ripe bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (or more :] ) semisweet chocolate chips

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: a pinch of salt is equal to 1/8 teaspoon
Step 2
For my health conscious tea party guests you may substitute for the following:

1 cup sugar (bananas are sweet, try 1/2 cup Natural Applesauce
1 egg (vegan egg substitute anyone??)

Pinch of salt (Brings out the savory but if your blood pressure is too high cut back on the savory and chew slowly)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (lets use whole grain or even rice flour for my gluten free darlings)

1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips (honey if you didn't have a sweet-tooth you wouldn't be reading this but thumbs up for raw cocoa!)

DRINK FOR THOUGHT: A craving for chocolate is typically due to your body needing more magnesium.
Step 3
Do the Banana Mash (yes Halloween just ended):
Whether your are blending the old-fashioned way, or the healthy less guilt way the same process entails

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 Celsius)

Mash your bananas like the sinners they are!

Mix the butter into the banana goo

Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix that mess!

Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the yellow mush and stir

Finally add your chips (chocolate not Dill Pickle *shutters) into the flour so that they do not sink to the bottom

Mix it up!
Step 4
Finally pour the banana guts into a buttered loaf pan (or a fun shaped cake pan I'm curious)

Bake for 1 hour

PULL THE LEVER!!!!!!!

Cool, Slice, Serve!
