My Favourite Banana Bread Recipe
There is something about this time of year when the weather is getting cooler that all I want to do is bake with cinnamon. I know this is a spice that you either love or hate but it has that warm cozy feeling to it that I want to use cinnamon in everything! Kevin and I were also discussing things that our grandparents used to do when baking, and we got on the topic of banana bread. Neither one of us ever remember opening up Grandma’s freezer to find twenty overripe bananas in there. It seems like this became a thing more recently, and I decided to see if there…

Freezer Full of Bananas? Make These Banana Oatmeal Walnut Muffins
I wasn’t sure if it was just me, but I found that the bananas I was buying were ripening really fast. They would go from the green one day to brown the next. There are only so many bananas that you can eat. I also find this is the same with avocados, where they are rock hard and then you have 15 minutes to eat them before they are rotten. Needless to say, I had a freezer full of ripe bananas that I need to find something to make or I would just have to toss them out. I used walnuts in these muffins but you can swap those out…

Hummingbird Cake
For some reason lately, I have been obsessed with Hummingbird Cake. I’m not sure if it is the banana and pineapple combination or what the deal is but I seem to want to make this for every occasion. Last weekend we went up and saw my parents, to check in on them and make sure they were doing well. With Mother’s Day being the following weekend and it being their 51st Wedding Anniversary we thought we should bring something up to celebrate with them. Of course, I made a Hummingbird Cake to take up! The original recipe is from Gonna Want Seconds blog, I made just a couple of minor…

Bคภคภค Oคt๓єคl C๏๏кเєร
This week was a rough week for baking. It seemed no matter what I made it either didn’t turn out or I burnt them in the oven. It was not good. I had an overabundance of bananas in the freezer and was trying to find things to make with them aside from banana bread. I thought I would make a banana custard for a Banana Cream Pie. Well, that was a disaster. I didn’t cook the custard long enough so it didn’t set, so I had to throw it out. I came across a recipe for Banana Oatmeal Cookies Life Love and Sugar and thought why not try these. As…
