Bananas were on sale, so I decided to try dehydrating them into chips. If they kids like them, they will be healthy, inexpensive lunch packings and snacks.
My intention was to sit, sip a hot cup of tea, inhale the wonderful apple spice candle, and read over some magazines from the library.
However, while the tea cooled, I looked over to see that more of my bananas were ripe - too ripe to eat. So I hopped on the handy dandy computer and made these Healthy Banana Cookies. So simple, and so delicious.
Then I sat back down to sip my tea, and came across another recipe - Banana Chocolate Cupcakes.
I ended up baking again.
I whipped my egg whites by hand this time. Very easy to do also. It was a rainy, dreary day, so it may be why I got the "baking bug" or it may be just the case of "when you give a mom a muffin." You know how we can all get side tracked so easily in our day?
These were in the "Lower-Calorie" section of the Diabetic Cooking magazine. We are not diabetic, but love their lower sugar/calorie recipes. The family devoured these, even before I had a chance to frost them.
I still have more ripe bananas for baking, but need to run to the store for some butter. Otherwise, you'd be looking at photos of banana bread also.
Baking - the best therapy for stress.

Yum, that all looks delicious. I have everything I need to make the banana cookies and 1 hour before I have to do the school run.....going to get busy.
The muffins ended up being even healthier since they ate them without the frosting! :)
I love rainy, dreary days for baking.
I love to make banana bread with pecans in the winter, with a cup of hot cocoa, yum. Can you post the Banana Chocolate Cupcakes recipe? Sounds good!
