I’ve been baking lots of banana bread lately and while I love it, I wanted something different to do with my ripe bananas. Found this recipe and tweaked it some to make it mine. They have a very soft, cake-like texture. Enjoy!
-This recipe is truly Blue Ribbon worthy! Conratulations!!!
Made these yummy cookies yesterday and 24 hrs later none are left. Easy to make but unfortunately very delicious & addicting:) By the time I finished baking 4 dozen cookies I had eaten the first batch all by myself. Yes 12 soft full of banana flavor cookies. You said they have a cake like texture, so I thought…why not make cupcakes. Made 6 cupecakes and they weren’t as soft as the cookies but just as tasty. They also disappeared:) Thanks for posting!
-Made 7 dozen of these and took them to a Christmas party and they were gone in less than 2 hours. They are delicious and a nice change but I love my banana nut bread too! LOL!
-These look and sound reslly good. Something a little different instead of banana bread all the time. You have been pinched..
