The Magic of Overripe Bananas
Ever wonder why overripe bananas look so gross but taste so incredible in baked goods? Nature works in mysterious ways, IMO. You get this intense, natural sweetness without dumping a whole pound of extra sugar into your mixing bowl. Plus, you save a little money by not trashing your produce.
These teatime chocolate banana bun or breakfast chocolate banana bun are so so good, you can enjoy them any time of the day. They’re perfect for sweet cravings or just to munch on when you want something light yet satisfying. Very easy to make with a few simple ingredients like mashed banana, egg, flour, butter, brown sugar, baking powder, dark chocolate and few more.
Childhood Memories
I remember when I was young, my maa(mother) used to buy bananas every single day. In our small town the fruit seller used to come right to our doorstep, no need worry to go to shop and online shopping was not even an imagination in those days. My mom still does the same thing when I go to India, no matter what fruits papa brings from the market but maa(mother) never forgets to remind him to buy bananas.
Haha! Here in Canada it is the same for me, No matter what fruits we finish at home but bananas should always be in the fruit basket. It just gives me a different level of joy😂 If you buy bananas regularly it is obvious that sometimes you will have 2–3 overripe bananas which i don’t like to eat but I also don’t remember the last time I threw one away.
Its just like i always find a way to I use them either cooking or baking and somehow found the baking gives so many ways to use overripe banana and that is the real beauty of baking 😉 and obviously It helps me save my overripe bananas and i am just love in it ❤️.
So this is the story behind the recipe. This recipe is very simple just mix and bake no need to think about shape or size. Just bake and enjoy anytime of the day when everyou crave something sweet and good. Try this recipe and let me know in the comments how it turned out. 😊
