kraft kitchens tips

How to Save Bananas for Baking

Don't waste over-ripe bananas. Peel the bananas, then place 2 to 3 bananas in freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Press bag gently to remove excess air before sealing. Squeeze bag to mash the bananas, then freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator before using as desired.

Shortcut

Instead of the homemade frosting, mix 1 cup canned ready-to-spread vanilla frosting and 3 Tbsp. Kraft Whipped Peanut Butter until well blended. Spread over cake.

Wow. Finally a true banana cake, not a bread or muffin. The icing is really good and I will use that on other treats I make!

This was absolutely amazing and so simple! I made it with my 3yr old son.The frosting will be my new go to frosting for all cakes and cupcakes, again it was so simple and absolutely delicious. No more banana bread for this house, from now on I'll be making this with my leftover bananas!We're about to make it again less than a week after making it the first time :)

I made this for a birthday cake and the peanut butter icing was a huge hit.

I made this last night with my 9 yr old son, it was very easy to make. The icing was awesome and gave this cake the extra to make it delicious. I added a little more peanut butter however. The cake was so moist. Will absolutely make this again, sooo good!

Very moist! The icing is amazing!I would use whole wheat flour and maybe mayonaise next time to lower the calorie content. I also added flax seeds!

GREAT! I made this for a potluck two days after i got the What's Cooking magazine that it came in. People have been coming to me for the recipe. I tweaked it a bit, though, I accidently used Becel instead of oil, and I did not use the full amount of milk in the icing. I mixed the PB & sugar and then poured milk in bit by bit while it mixed until it was the proper consistency. Delicious!
