{Another Crrruummmbbble!}


Yes, I made another crumble.

I really liked the apple one, but I wanted to make something different this time. I actually had some bananas in the kitchen, but they were getting very overripe. They had brown spots everywhere and felt really mushy, so I decided to use them now (I really don't like wasting food). The recipe is very similar to the apple crumble recipe. The only difference is that instead of apples, I added some cinnamon and three sliced bananas. If you want to the recipe, click here. I am very busy right now in school, and I am sorry if I do not post as much recipes as I usually did before. I hope that I can get some free time soon to bake more!

{Banana Ice Cream With Just One Ingredient}


Usually when I get a cookbook I flip over to the desserts section first. Banana Caramel Chocolate Walnut Brownie Pie... Strawberry Shortcake... Cinnamon Raisin Bread... they all seem so delicious, but today I wanted to make something perfect for one of the last few days of summer. Finally, I found a recipe for Banana "Ice Cream", but I did not remember seeing this recipe in the cookbook before. I could not believe how easy it was to make, and it even claimed that this "ice cream" really looks and tastes like the real thing! I had to find out if it was true.

All you need are 3 to 4 medium sized frozen bananas (they must be very ripe), a rubber spatula, and a food processor!


1. Dice the bananas and place them in the freezer.

2. Put the bananas in the food processor once they are frozen and blend them up. Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula.


At first, the bananas might become very chunky or look like crumbs, but if you mix them up a bit more they will become very creamy. I was very surprised once I tasted the "ice cream", because it really tasted and felt like real ice cream. Now, I can have a very healthy treat that I can eat whenever I want!

This "ice cream" tastes really good, but you can make it even better by adding more ingredients. Try eating it with honey, peanut butter, chocolate syrup/chips, maple syrup, cinnamon, or more fruits!
