This is Baking with Klarion episode 1:

In our home, no bananas has never gone to waste. If the bananas have been in the kitchen counter for a long time and started to have black spots on them, we bake them, not throw them. I’m aware that nutritionists say that bananas with spots are the healthiest one but my kids don’t like them. They look disgusted, taste bad and have this mushy texture. It’s not appealing to kids at all.

So today, my kids and I baked banana cupcakes made of… rotten bananas. Oh, it’s not really rotten. It looks like they just started to darken up. It’s in the sweetest stage – best for baking.

My kids are always excited about baking – I guess they got it from me. My son loves to mix the batter and lick it from the spatula (when I look away), while my daughter loves to bake and decorate. I guess all I did was to supervise them and wash the equipments they used in baking.

I hope you guys try our recipe. We liked them so much, it’s gone in a minute.

Please give us a feedback on how it turned out to you, in case you tried them.
