Banana Bread by Bake House

What do you do when you have a comb of ripe bananas in the kitchen?

Make banana bread!

I tried this banana bread recipe after having it on my Pinterest board for over a year. I know, don’t judge. I pin much more than I actually get to try the recipes. But better late than never, for sure.

I omitted the cinnamon chips, but the amount of bananas used made this bread delicious and moist, with added crunch from the walnuts. I also love that I don’t have to use the mixer to make this. It made for a filling breakfast/snack for a couple of days before it was wiped clean! Yum.

Banana Nut Pancakes from A Beautiful Mess

Fluffy buttermilk and banana pancakes!

My version of these didn’t look photo-worthy at all. The batter was thin and my pancakes were overly brown (read: burned) and out of shape. Definitely not what you want pancakes to look like. And we were hungry, so we gobbled them up despite their look, and I didn’t get any photos in time.

But despite the lack of photos, here’s the verdict: the bananas added lots of sweetness to the pancakes and the walnuts gave a good crunch. And maybe it was my cooking, but they weren’t as thick and fluffy as I would’ve liked them to be. But the tricky part is trying to give enough time for your batter to cook while not letting the bananas get burned.

I know, I’m still trying to master this whole pancake breakfast thing. But hey, practice makes perfect. So I think I’m one step closer to this (;

Lately

Lately: It’s been quiet around here, I know. I’ve been busy catching up on random important things. Add to that the fact that my computer died last week. So I’m making do and hoping it gets fixed soon.

Last week: I made this banana walnut chocolate cookie cake from Joy the Baker – two times round! I was so distracted by how yummy it smelled and looked that I didn’t take pictures. Mine was without the cast iron skillet and ice cream. But, it was just as gooood. So you can just salivate over this delicious cookie cake made by Joy herself!

Yesterday: It felt like Christmas had come early this year because I got my shipment of scrapbooking supplies from Two Peas in a Bucket. Happiness. I can’t wait to start creating with these (:

Today: Making tons of lists to keep my head straight. Also, trying not to stress out over how behind I am on Project Life and how much catching up I need to do.

What have you been busy with lately?
