The-Kids-Are-Driving-Us Bananas Recipes: Banana Bread, Pudding, Pizza and More

Easy Banana Bread Ok, so this one is totally obvious, but you won't be complaining when you're serving up a hunk of this classic for a busy-morning breakfast! Serves: 8 Prep Time: 5 mins Total Time: 1 hour, 15 mins Stuffed Banana French Toast Your kids are already good at stuffing things: Cheerios up their noses, dirty clothes under their beds, homework into their backpacks... Let this recipe show them that their stuffing skills can be used for good, too! Serves: 6 Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 20 mins Banana Pudding This recipe will take you straight back to childhood. You know, when you could eat four bowls without thinking about calories... and when you didn't have to share with your kids. Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 30 mins Banana Snack Pizza Our kids have never met a pizza they didn't like. Well, okay, that goat cheese & artichoke number didn't fly, but this one's a guaranteed winner. (Honestly, with peanut butter, coconut and chocolate as options, we'd take a pass on the goat cheese, too.) Serves: 4 Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 15 mins Banana Hot Dog Hot dogs are a great go-to meal, in a pinch. But we're thinking the fourth night in a week stops qualifying as "a pinch." This week, change things up with a banana in a bun! It's like a hot dog, only healthier. (And you're like an amazing parent, only awesome-er!) Serves: 1 Prep Time: 5 mins Total Time: 5 mins Monkey Sundaes If you're gonna do a banana split, for fruit's sake, do it right! Banana bread, ice cream and caramel... It's like dessert gone... well, bananas! Serves: 4 Prep Time: 5 mins Total Time: 5 mins
