Banana Cinnamon Chip Blondies

My little sister B (Happy Birthday B!) was in town earlier this year and put in a request for something with banana in them. So I headed over to my Google Reader to see what was available in the blogs that I read. I came across a few appetizing recipes, and chose this one because I had recently aquired some cinnamon chips and had no idea what to do with them.

These little blondies packed quite a punch. The pecans provide a nice crunch. The cinnamon chips compliment that banana blondies perfectly. B, Hubby, and I gobbled these up at an embarassing rate. If you have some cinnamon chips lying around, definitely try these. If you don’t have cinnamon chips already, but see them at the store, buy them so you can make these. Then send me a thank you note for passing along this awesome recipe 🙂

    White water rafting and Canadian kayaking will have you navigating powerful rivers in some of the most beautiful locations on earth. Deep, river-carved gorges that are teeming with wildlife…spectacular scenery…and man or women against nature, that’s what memories are made of. Explore the underwater sights while scuba diving in Canada. The Pacific Ocean in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east offer a wide variety of marine life and the Great Lakes are an ideal location for wreck diving. .

    Here’s my recipe and it’s a winner: cut apples in chunks, add a little water and a little regular sugar or splenda. But then add a handful or two of cinnamon red hots!!!!!. Bring the pot to a low simmer, stirring occasionally, but stop just before apples turn to much, in other words, they’re barely done. Remove from heat and serve. They really are delicious, hot or cold. The apple chunks are delightful. Try it and hope you also like it.
