nuked bananas!

oh no...i got the overripe bananas situation!  i remembered i still have them, but too late!  they're now brownish and eeeky soft.  still, i dont want to just throw these away.  

banana cake sounds good, but i don't have an oven. got to think half-full...  what is my alternative?   
could it be....my trustworthy microwave?

<googling....>


aha!  here's one interesting recipe that just might be the solution.

thanks to Avery at Avery Cooks for this recipe (refer to link below).  

<cooking...>

i tweaked a bit coz i wasn't sure of the banana size...  & i didn't have cinnamon on hand, as well as non-stick oil spray..  Didn't put Peanut butter toppings too.  And I nuked for an additional 30secs.
                     
     Microwaved Banana Oats Cakes

     1 banana, mashed
     6 tbsp quick-cook oatmeals
     2 tbsp brown sugar
     makes 2 servings.

     - mix banana, oatmeal & sugar.
     - spread 1 serving into parchment-paper-lined microwaveable container
     - nuke on high for 2minutes
     - let cool for a minute and indulge!

i paired mine w/ coffee, the kids' paired w/ a glass of OJ.




aroma in the kitchen was so heavenly while 'cookin'!   best of all, my kids loved em in today's PM snacktime!

my lessons learned: 

  1. nuke too long, cakes get dry.  more vitamins lost too, i suppose.
  2. add too much oatmeal, cake too dry.

enjoy! ^_^
