  1. We LOVED these! My niece and nephew gobbled them up after school, and took some home for their lunchboxes for tomorrow! I "frosted" them with strawberry yoghurt, and popped banana slices on top of that. Will be making them again! [Made for fall 08 PAC]
     
  2. This is a great recipe for the health conscience! Instead of making cupcakes, I used the batter to bake an actual cake (we used it to celebrate our son's "potty party" - as you can see in the picture). I did have to tweak it a bit though. I added 2 extra bananas and doubled (but would even triple next time) the amount of honey to add more sweetness. For his cake, I also melted down some chocolate and added it in for a healthy chocolate version. This is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

PLEASE RATE MY RECIPES!! :) My husband and I have been happily married for six years and we have two amazing children! I stay home with our son and daughter and stay busy in with local mom's groups and activities. I am a certified childbirth educator (bradleybirth.com) and also teach and supervise the Aqua Aerobic department at one of our local gyms. I am somewhat of a health nut/hippee and distribute whole food suppliments (morganlovesjuiceplus.com), but I love to bake and to share my baked goods. There is no better compliment than when some one takes a bite of my very own Chocolate Chip Cookies and says they are the best they've ever tasted! (Sorry, it's a secret recipe!) I would love to open my own bakery someday... I like to cook for my family too, and have become exceptionally motivated since our son was born. I have been finding myself getting swept away reading cookbooks (while the kids are sleeping). :) I am really enjoying trying new recipes (and so is my husband) and I think I am becomming a "Foodie" so Recipezaar is simply heaven for me! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">    | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/business/dashboard/" title="Miracles in the Making Childbirth Education and Support!" target="_TOP" style="font-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #3B5998; text-decoration: none;">Miracles in the Making Childbirth Education and Support</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/d41d8cd9/" target="_TOP"><img src="http://badge.facebook.com/badge/0.0.1173522904.png" width="175" height="50" style="border: 0px;" /></a>
