I love banana! And these make the ideal treat for supper for the school lunches. They freeze well so double the recipe and try and leave some for the freezer! Store in an airtight container once cooled.

Something different to do with an overabundance of zucchini. These brownie bites do not last long at my house. Store in an airtight container.
Apple Fritter Cake
This apple fritter cake was inspired by the delicious flavor of a warm, cinnamon apple fritter. The lightly spiced cake batter is baked with plenty of chopped tart apple on top, and then finished with vanilla icing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
