when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. i decided when your bananas turn brown, you make banana bread. this is all part of our new goal to save money and use the food we buy before it goes bad and we have to throw it away. i couldn't bare to throw away the 6 bananas that had turned brown, so i made banana bread.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
the funny story is that the first time i made these (about a week ago) i accidentally used the 1/2 tablespoon measurement instead of TEASPOON...so, LOTS of salt and baking soda...mark said they tasted good, but i couldn't stand the salty taste...GROSS! i guess it was late or something and i wasn't paying attention. so, i wanted to used the last three bananas i had to make one more batch of muffins and actually get it right this time. i got everything out and started making them, but not before i placed the butter in the window box of the kitchen to soften the butter. i made the recipe, rereading to make sure i had properly made them, put them in the muffin tins and plopped them in the oven. it wasn't until a few minutes later when i was washing my hands that i realized i forgot the butter. oh gee wiz! so i took the muffins out of the oven, emptied them back into the bowl and added the butter. then i put it back into the tins and the oven. the chocolate chips were kind of melted, so the muffins turned out brown from the melted chocolate (hmm i could be onto something here). haven't tasted them yet, but mark says they are delicious.
you would think i have never made banana bread before. thanks, amy, for the recipe!
