easy peasy banana treats

I realized last Monday we had a bunch of bananas that needed to get

eaten this week.  I knew I had several ideas pinned on pinterest. 

I wrote out a banana idea for each day last  this week.

Something with seeing a to do item on a list makes me actually

do it.  I like lists and planning!

Here is what we made for the week.

Monday

Banana pancakes

I used the Bisquick recipe with one banana added in.

I also added 2 T. ground flax seed to the mix.

Jordan loves pb as a topping instead of syrup.

He also really enjoyed strawberry jam and pb together on top.

Tuesday

I made my go to smoothie for Jordan that he likes for breakfast.

I blend a handful of spinach with a cup of milk.

Then I add a carnation instant breakfast packet, a spoonful

of peanut butter and half a banana.

Blend all that together and pour into a colored cup

with a lid so he can't see that the color is a little off from

the spinach.  He also had a pancake cookie with it.

Basically a cold leftover pancake :)

Wednesday

banana "ice cream"

Found the recipe on pinterest which led me to 

the blog Farm to Table. 

This is another super easy recipe.

Just blend 3-4 sliced and frozen bananas in the food processor.

Once blended to a creamy mixture add a spoonful of peanut butter

and 2-3 tsp. cocoa powder.

The kids loved it and wanted more but didn't have more frozen bananas.

Thursday

two ingredient banana cookies

found this recipe at the burlap bag

Ingredients:

2 large old bananas

1 cup of oats (quick or regular)

Mix those two together.

Then add in what sounds yummy to you! 

we added a handful of chocolate chips

-crushed walnut pieces

-cinnamon

-raisins

cook them at 350 degrees for 15 minutes on a GREASED cookie sheet.

Enjoy!

Friday
