:::Paula Deen Is The QUEEN:::

I got a new Chocolate Chip Recipe from foodnetwork.com! It's FABULOUS! She made it with different chocolates but I just used regular semi-sweet chocolate chips. I made an extra-big cookie for my hubby and me. We put Vanilla Ice Cream on top! SO DELICIOUS! :)


ENJOY :)

::::Heavenly BaNaNa Bliss ::::

Oh my goodness gracious! If you like banana bread, banana oatmeal drops, or just plain bananas you are going to L-O-V-E this dessert. It has TOPPED any banana bread or banana dessert I've ever had! I found a cupcake recipe that sounded good, but took a few ingredients out and added some more of my own and ended up making something completely different....... JUST TRY IT! You'll fall in love... :)

Heavenly Banana Bliss With Cinnamon Honey Glaze

1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 mashed bananas
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
A Dash of Cinnamon & Milk


1.)Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mini ramekins with non-stick oil. Whisk
together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  


2.) Peel and half bananas in separate bowl and add a little bit of milk and cinnamon - eye it. Heat it in the microwave for aboout 15 seconds. Then Mash well.

3.) Make a hole in the center of flour mixture.Then, mix together butter, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla. Stir, making sure all the flour is incorporated. (I poured my batter into a glass measuring dish so it'd be easy to pour into the ramekins). Fill your batter to the lower rim of your ramekin. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of batter. 

4.) Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. (Poke a toothpick in the middle - should come out clean). Remove ramekins from oven; best served hot with warmed glaze. Drizzle with Honey-Cinnamon glaze. ((I didn't have any, but I think chopped walnuts would be FABULOUS on top of this dessert.))

Warm Cinnamon Honey Glaze
 
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 TBS honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon

In a medium size bowl, mix all ingredients together using an electric mixer. Blend until smooth. Heat in microwave or on stove top before serving. Drizzle over your banana dessert. Serve, Enjoy!!

[[*When I served this to my Husband and Great Grandma I decided to take the dessert out of the ramekin, put it on a plate and then drizzle the glaze. That way you get more glaze. If you don't want more of the glaze - eat it out of the ramekin and it's perfect. :)]]
