You probably think that I live solely on bananas given the amount of banana breads being churned out of my kitchen ha!

Well, it’s kinda true. Bananas are my favourite ingredient for smoothie and toppings for toasts. When I couldn’t finish them on time, it’s time for either banana breads…or cookies. Yes it is predictable but this time with a slight variation. I sneakily added a carrot. Grated. Just to make sure a non-veggie eater could sneak them out. Oh yeah, I can be a little bossy like that! It’s okay because no one should say no to carrot or veggie for that matter.
