Mmm...breakfast bagels!!
After breakfast, on to Banana Bread.
I had quite a few frozen bananas in
the freezer, which I forgot to remove
to thaw the night before, so I thought
I'd try a quick defrost. First, it was
attempted to throw them all in a ziplock...
and into a sink full of water.

But that was only thawing out the
bananas on the outside of the bag.
The ones in the middle were still
a bit in their frozen state. Next step
was to remove them from the bag and
place them directly into the water.
I was afraid that the skins would soak
up too much of the water, affecting the
bread dough... but this worked quite well.
And was quick too! Although I did have
most of them thawed via my previous attempt.

I skipped the "mash" part of the recipe.It's kinda silly if you ask me. Just takes
another step and more precious time. So I just
dumped the bananas directly from their skins
into the mixing bowl and mixed away.
The bread baking away...
Smelled soooooo good!!
The larger loaves took a wee bitlonger to completely cook.
But...ooo, they were good!!
Lots of dishes...
...means lots to wash and dry.
What does chocolate...
and gummy bears have in common?
Chocolately goodness!!
