Facebook Status: “What do I do with a dozen of over-ripe bananas?” To solve this gordian task, my friends did come to rescue With over a dozen of creative suggestions. This made me think… a dozen ain’t enough!
To keep it simple, I used some in my smoothie and used the rest to bake some Banny Cranny Cookies.
Here’s the recipe.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
