For years I’ve avoided Classic Hummingbird Cake. Honestly, it wasn’t really that much of an issue since I lived in areas where it was unlikely to pop up all over as it does here in the South. You’ll see it here, at picnics, potlucks, and at all kinds of get-togethers.

I was just a kid the first time I had the Original Nilla Wafer Banana Pudding. For a while, every year, my folks would rent a cabin on Big Spirit Lake in Iowa, sometimes with my cousins. Maybe I was five, maybe six, and this was an old green, peeling paint kind cabin, the front porch converted to bunk beds, right on the lake. The last time I was in Spirit Lake it was still there, decades later.

I have a favorite muffin recipe so it’s not often you’ll see me go rogue. But now and then, I find something so irresistible I can’t wait to make them! That’s where these marvelous King Arthur Banana Streusel Muffins come in.

I’ve heard about Banoffee Pie for decades. But I didn’t know then what I know now. It’s so fabulous, Caramelly Toffee Banana goodness! And I didn’t know how easy it is to make. All those wasted years!

I came across a super easy recipe and just HAD to make it. Mainly because I’m at the folk’s house right now and they have a kazillion boxes of brownie mix in the pantry. And who doesn’t like Brownies and Banana Bread? And why not combine them?
