Going Bananas?

Do you feel as if you are actually going bananas? I know this is so difficult for everyone...moms and dads keeping little ones busy, moms and dads helping older children keep up with their school work, moms and dads trying to work from home. And then their are the grandparents and great-grandparents who are isolated and lonesome. We worry about them and need to make sure they have what they need. It is an exhausting list, but I know each of you can handle whatever is put before you with God's help.

So instead of going bananas, let's look at some kid-approved recipes with bananas:

Banana Muffins - 2 dozen large super moist muffins
¾ C. butter  (1 ½ sticks softened)
1 ½ C. sugar
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas
4 T. sour cream
2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add sugar. Beat in eggs, thoroughly.Sift together flour, soda, and salt; add gradually to mixing bowl. Mash bananas and beat into mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla and blend. Pour into lined or greased muffin tins until ¾ full. Bake 2350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Note: If gluten is an issue, I have substituted gluten free 1 to 1 cup flour blend and these muffins turn out just right. I have also made lots of mini-muffins, too. All yummy!

Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Bites
Slice bananas into ¼" pieces
Arrange in ice cube trays or on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper
Spoon ¼ to ½ tsp. peanut butter onto banana slices
Freeze for about 2 hours.
Enjoy!
Note: You can exchange any type nut butter for the peanut butter. You can also top each peanut buttered covered banana slice with another slice to make "sandwiches" if preferred.

Looks like mine have a little more than ½ tsp of peanut butter! Extra yummy!
