| might look a little crazy, but it's crazy good: grilled bananas, chocolate and coconut |
we have a little monkey in our midst. she loves bananas. mama has been coming up with creative ways to use them. baby's new thing is "hot?" as she blows on every morsel we give her. mama's response, "no sweety fruit is not typically hot." which, up until saturday night, has been true. auntie anna was in town and in an effort to make dinner and dessert that aligned with auntie's rotating diet - we ended with grilled bananas. the "fruit isn't hot" phrase was tossed out the window as i encouraged e to blow on each bite. so here it is, so great for summer nights - perhaps those that are gluten free and can't join-in on the s'mores or if you're just in the mood for bananas, chocolate and a dash of coconut.
{grilled bananas}
run a slit down the banana (peel on)
stuff-in a piece of chocolate of your choice, inside the slit
sprinkle-in some dried coconut
throw it all on the grill
grab a fork and enjoy!
(for babies, just the banana [sans sweets] will do)
earlier that day, another banana treat was in the works. we have ancient harvest's organic quinoa flakes in the pantry. much like traditional baby hot cereal, but made of quinoa, this complete protein and gluten free choice, is a great base for muffins. we took this banana-quinoa recipe right off the box. they were super tasty and with no sugar included, were a great baked good to serve our little monkey!
