Cocoa Banana Bars Recipe

what is the best way to store these?

I love this recipe, and my family does as well, that we usually don’t have many leftover. However, if you do have some leftover, the best way to store them is putting them in the fridge.

We recommend placing them in an air tight storage container, and putting them in the fridge.

If you aren’t going to eat them for more than a week, we recommend freezing them. Again the best way to freeze them is placing them in an airtight storage container and putting them in the freezer.

They will last nicely in the freezer for about 2 weeks, and in the fridge, about 3-5 days.

To thaw them, we recommend placing them in the fridge overnight and serving them the next day. We also recommend giving them a few seconds in the microwave to warm up, so they taste like they came right out of the oven.

Mmm mmm delicious.

banana bread add ins:

This bread is delicious as is. However I like to add a little extra kick of sweetness and flavor to it. Especially since these are pretty healthy, I like to even my diet out with a little sugar.

Here are some add ins, we recommend:

• M & M’s
• Peanut Butter Chips
• Chocolate Chips
• Walnuts or pecans
• Cream cheese swirls
• Nutella
• Butterscotch Chips
