Back in the 70's people came up with all kinds of recipes that were "healthier" because they had vegetables or fruit in them. I've been revisiting some of them lately and I'm rather shocked but what we considered healthy at the time. I still make them occasionally as a sweat treat from my childhood. My conservative mother had this one book of "hippie" recipes, and the banana bars were our favorite. It's basically a wetter cookie recipe, where banana replaces a some of the fat and sugar. Next time I think I'll try reducing the sugars from 2/3 of a cup to 1/2, and see how I like it.
3/4 C butter (170g)
2/3 C sugar (150g)
2/3 C brown sugar (160g)
2 medium mashed bananas (245g)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla (7g)
1/2 tsp salt (3g) unless using salted butter
2 tsp baking pwd (7g)

2 C flour (300g)
Cream butter, egg, sugars,
vanilla, bananas, salt
Add half of the flour and
baking powder
Add choco chips, mix

My name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in France and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 15 months or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. The contributors on the show would also receive monetary compensation if they are filmed. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.
