Рецепт Monkey Bars
Monkey Bars
When I was a little girl, going to the park was the highlight of the day. When we played on the monkey bars we always pretended to be monkeys. Site and sounds too. :)
Then when we went home, we all wanted bananas. Maybe that was mom’s way to get us to eat bananas. We never would eat them any other time except when we got home from the park.
Today, there were bananas that were getting too ripe for my liking. I prefer to eat mine when there is still a bit of green on the peel. The ones sitting in my fruit bowl had more spots than I cared to have on mine.
What’s a girl to do with over ripe bananas? Yup. Bake. So I made up these Monkey Bars.

Light and moist. It’s just like a chocolate chip banana bread.
And I am sure if you ask your kids if they would like a monkey bar, they will definitely be curious. Then you can take them to the park to play on the monkey bars. No kids? No problem. Adults will love these too. With just the right amount of sweetness to please your palate.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
