| Monkey Bars |
Do you ever go into the kitchen, fish out a recipe, and make so many substitutions that you can only hope what the result will be? I found a basic cake recipe and got to work. I switched a double-portion of bananas for oil and sugar. Bananas make a gooey brownie, so I subbed flaxseed for the eggs, just in case. Corn syrup? Um, no. Maple syrup instead. Gluten free flour for regular... I ended up with what I was aiming for! That NEVER happens!
Banana brownies! They are soft and delicious when served as soon as they cool enough to slice. (One night in the fridge did not hurt them but they were better warmed up.) I spread a wee bit of unsweetened, just-peanut butter on top just before serving. They had no official name until I presented one to the Cadet. After shoving one in his mouth and dancing around, he called to me in the kitchen, "Monkey Bar! Oo oo! Aah aah! More Monkey Bar, please!" If our nearly-two-year-old says they are "Monkey Bars," then that is what they shall be.
