Banana Nut Sticky Buns for Bread Maker<\/a><\/h2>\n
“This is my latest twist on sticky buns. I added a mashed banana to the dough and some raisins in the center. They are incredibly good topped with nuts and a maple caramel glaze. The only problem is that you won’t be able to stop eating them! I’ve devised this recipe for my bread maker as it makes the smoothest dough.” – Laurie<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Banana Pineapple Chocolate Chip Pancakes<\/a><\/h2>\n
“When my children were small, I adapted the ingredients from one of my favorite muffin recipes to make these YUMMY pancakes! They’ve been a favorite ever since! My kids’ friends came for breakfast requesting these pancakes. This past Christmas, 5 years after they graduated from high school, a group of my daughter’s friends still request them. These freeze well and are great cold, with fruit, or as an accompaniment for eggs, bacon, or sausage.” – Jamie<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Caramel Pecan Banana Cake<\/a><\/h2>\n
“Growing up in rural Oklahoma we had the only banana tree for miles. I took great care of watering and weeding around it that when it didn’t make any bananas the 1st year I was very upset. The next summer, my Uncle Roy, being the family trickster, bought some bananas, put them on the tree and told me they grew overnight. Of course, I believed everything Uncle Roy told me. Mom made a banana Bundt cake with the fruit and I savored every single bite. I came up with this recipe in honor of my dad and uncle, who have since passed. Oh yes, Uncle Roy also had me watering a round rock that grew too!” – Tresa<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Banana Oat Muffins<\/a><\/h2>\n
“These Banana Oat Muffins came to be because I am trying to stay out of the stores and use what we have on hand. I have an autistic son that eats a banana every day for breakfast and he isn’t happy with me for not having fresh bananas. Sure hope these muffins will replace his morning banana but we will see, he is such a creature of habit. If you have some over-ripe bananas and have never baked with them this is the perfect recipe to start with.” – Debbie<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mom’s Fresh Banana Cake<\/a><\/h2>\n
“My mom made this recipe 100’s of times while growing up. It is so moist and good. Her secret was in the bananas. The night before she went to make this she would put 3 or more bananas in the blender and puree them. Then she would let them sit all night in the refrigerator, sometimes two nights. The banana puree would be dark and fruity-smelling. She would add that to the cake batter and her cake would be perfect and moist every time!” – Angela<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
