Amy I may have shared this recipe before. But it's worth repeating. Glenn’s Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips and Candied Ginger From A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg 1 cup granulated sugar (I used soft brown) 1 large egg unsalted butter 2 ripe medium-size bananas 3 Tbs milk 2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda 1 cup chocolate chips (I used 100g dark chocolate cut into chunks) Small chunks of candied ginger, to taste (I used stem ginger in syrup) ½ cup chopped walnuts, optional Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar, egg, and butter. In a separate bowl, mash bananas; then mix with milk. In another separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in three parts, alternating with banana-milk mixture in two parts, stirring by hand until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, ginger, and optional nuts. Turn batter into loaf pan, smoothing top with the back of a spoon, and bake for one hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes; then remove bread from pan and cool on a wire rack. Georgia Several weeks ago I found these cute little Easter cupcake cups and sticks so of course I HAD to make the appropriate cupcakes. Carrot cake cupcakes. Carrot cake is my favorite!! In my humble opinion they are the perfect food. They cover all the food groups. I found this lovely recipe that uses applesauce. What I like about any carrot cake recipe that calls for either applesauce or crushed pineapple is it not only adds a nice flavor to the cake it also makes for a much moister cake. This one was no exception. What I LOVED about this recipe was the cream cheese frosting. If you aren't adding cinnamon to your frosting, stop what you are doing and start adding it. Especially those frosting that is for a spice type cake. People who are not frosting fans (yes there are people who don't like frosting) they all raved about this one. Adorable and delicious.. A winning combination. Oohh.. I just read Amy's recipe that called for candied ginger and it reminded me of this recipe I saw recently for ginger, chocolate chip scones.. I may need to get some candied ginger. Happy Sunday,
