Chocolate banana bundt cake works on a low-calorie diet, as long as you are honest about portion sizes and limit yourself to one piece at a time.
Did you know you can substitute baby food bananas for mashed bananas in recipes? Oh, yes!

When purchasing bananas in season, purchase a half dozen for future use. Let them ripen to overripe, peel, mash, place into airtight container(s), and freeze.

There is a difference between artificial vanilla flavoring and vanilla extract. If you can afford it, purchase the real vanilla extract. The taste difference is amazing, especially in cakes and cookies.
