Banana Bread Blondies

How do you make something as good as banana bread taste even better? Turn it into soft, moist blondies and cover them with a sweet cream cheese icing! For an extra-special touch, add a cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.

Spicy Catfish Fillets in Banana Leaves

Grilling fish in banana leaves keeps in all the juices and adds a distinctive smoky taste, complemented here with an aromatic spice paste. Banana leaves are sold frozen at most Southeast Asian and Latin American grocery stores. Heating the leaves before wrapping makes them stronger and more flexible. You also can wrap the fish in foil, but it will not have a smoky flavour.

Peanut Butter Banana Wraps

Use bananas that are as straight as possible, because they are easier to roll. You can replace the peanut butter with any nut butter. You'll need to open the packages to test for doneness, so be careful because the contents will be hot.

Banana-Nut Oatmeal

As a girl who needs a filling breakfast, oatmeal is my most common breakfast meal. After eating apple cinnamon oatmeal day in and day out, I was getting a little bored. We had a banana left on the counter and some walnuts in a jar.. it just went from there, and it was a hit! Not only is it grat tasting, it's also easy and quick to make.
