I'm kinda bummed about how these pictures turned out, but look at that. There really wasn't much I could do to make the Nutella covered banana slices look appetizing :) You know what though? I don't care! While Tastespotting and Foodgawker will probably laugh their asses off when I submit this, then gleefully send me my usual 'Unfortunately...you suck' email, I still won't care. Know why?
Cause this was one damn fine breakfast!!
It may not be the prettiest thing I've ever taken pictures of, but it sure made up for it in taste! This was SO good. Well...the three bites I managed get in before Jesse elbowed me out of my chair and scarfed down the rest of it, were good. Is this something I'll be making often? Probably not.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have this every day, however my butt and thighs would probably have an issue with that.This is a great recipe to surprise the kids with on a lazy weekend, or a good way to use up any bananas that may be over-ripe. The original recipe was bananas and peanut butter, but peanut butter is gross, so I switched it to Nutella. If you're a peanut butter fan though, try it the original way...you'll probably love it!
