fun eats: Frozen Banana Nut Bites

Wednesday, February 27, 2013 17 Comments

 

So, these were a COMPLETE accident today!  Little miss V kept asking for snacks, I’m thinking growth spurt?!  So being the “always quick on my feet mama”, “I don’t want to have to run to the store to get one ingredient with two little ones, hmmm let’s see what I can use right here mama”, I made these ;)

Currently V is not a fan of bananas, she used to be, but not lately.  So, those super ripe bananas sitting in the fruit basket were screaming my name to do something creative with them to get her to eat bananas again.  And, it was a COMPLETE & utter success, well, after I reformed the recipe completely!

So here’s the scene, I have a kids snack recipe book and I whipped it open to make some yummy HEALTHY treats for these two little monkeys.  I followed the directions VERBATIUM – and well, they were a flop.  Sometimes I think the people who make these cookbooks never actually make the recipes (especially the ones with just illustrations, like kid ones) – argh.  So basically, the recipe has you mash up RIPE bananas, then, add chopped nuts and honey to the bananas.  You are then told to roll this mixture into balls, and then roll the balls into the remaining nut mixture – well, yeah, I have no idea how one can roll a ball of liquid into chopped nuts – and I tried, believe me!

So like a happy accident – I was determined to create something with my bowl of banana nut liquid!  And here’s what I made – V ate not one, not two, ummm yep, she had SIX & I had to cut her off (she wanted more)!





Success to the thousandth power, I’ll say – V’s eating banana’s again – wahoo!

Did you tally the score?  Mama = 1, V = 0

So here’s the mama♥miss adjusted, amazing, non liquid mush recipe ;)

Frozen Banana Nut Bites

These yummy little bites are the perfect little midday treat.

Ingredients

2 large, ripe bananas
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup peanuts

Instructions

  1. Mash up ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher (I favor the potato masher).
  2. Using a small food processor, add peanuts & cashews and chop until finely ground.
  3. Combine mashed bananas with the nut mixture; Stir until blended.
  4. Add honey to the mixture; Stir well.
  5. Spoon mixture into silicone molds and place in freezer for at least 2 hours.
  6. Once completely frozen, pop them out from the molds & into your mouth!

Notes

Store in freezer.

    Hhhmmmm I was just wondering what to do with the pile of overripe bananas on my counter. They are a bit too ripe to throw sliced into the dehydrator. I think I may take this idea and try to make a fruit leather with it. It amazes me how timely so many posts are. Thanks for the inspiration. I think I am going to use peanut butter and almond butter instead of whole nuts.

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good!

🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
