So, you have rip bananas. If this happens a lot you may be struggling to find something to do with them. Me? The other day I intended on making a banana bread with chocolate chips. I noticed as I made the batter that for some reason, it looked like cookie batter. I googled “banana cookies” and took a browse at some recipes and realized that I was right - the proportions that I made for my “bread” were nearly identical to the cookie recipes.

I would love to share the recipe with you. Unfortunately, I didn’t measure and the experience of making them (even though they were delicious) was rather chaotic. Instead, I am going to share with you one of the recipes I found .

Go ahead and try that recipe. Or if you want to make something that is closer to what I did, make the following changes:

• Instead of 2 c. all purpose flour, add 1 c. whole wheat flour and 1 c. all purpose
• Omit the spices and the nuts
• Use 1 c. of chocolate chips
• Add an extra T. of butter

That will get you pretty close. And let me warn you - the chocolate makes them even better and more addicting. There is something about the banana and chocolate combination that is tantalizing!
