What would you choose? Me?
Well I do love graham crackers, but I am a banana bread girl at heart. So banana bread all the way. I think that banana bread was actually one of the first things that I baked on my own. Well, besides chocolate chip cookies, but I have basically been baking those with my mom since I could talk, and by talk I mean make sounds. She’s the queen of all queens when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. Oh and wait, I think blueberry muffins were actually before banana bread, but those were from the good old Betty Crocker box so they only half counts. They were some dang good muffins though.
But anyway, I have always loved baking banana bread. Little secret though? Eating it straight out of the oven with a fork is the way to go. It’s warm and gooey and… just try it. So good. You’ll never look back.
Alright, so my family’s not real big on cheesecake. Like they actually say they hate it. Except Brendan, Brendan loves cheesecake, and pretty much all the good food that my family will not eat. Too bad Brendan is the brother who doesn’t stay in one place longer than two weeks. So basically he’s never here. Bummer.
But his travels and taste buds give me good ideas. Whoop, whoop! Which brings me to banana bread cheesecake. Combining two of Brendan’s favorites into one and adding a fudge swirl… for all the chocolate devotees in this house. Can’t really blame um. Chocolate makes almost anything a little better.
So, with Easter approaching and spring finally here (well for you guys anyway), I felt like cheesecakes would be a good little treat. Yes, you do have to bake the banana bread, but come on, it’s not THAT warm out yet, you can handle it. The is simple and quick and leaves you with a sweet cold treat. Perfect for a sunny spring day. AND I mean the banana bread is practically good for you, and the cheesecake is all protein. The fudge swirl? Um well, we are a gonna go with the antioxidants on that one.
So basically, you have no excuse not to make these cheesecakes. Unless of course you hate bananas, like my cousin Maggie, in which case I am going to have to say – you are just weird.
So don’t be weird. Make um.
