Brazilian Puss in Boots, by Cygnusbr

This is a simple and tasty pudding dish. I served it with some strawberries, but you could eat it on it's own and be very satisfied.



The recipe below yielded the amount in the picture. If you'd like more, simply double the recipe.

What you need:
1 Banana, mushed
1/3-1/2 cup of Ricotta Cheese
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon

**Optional** To thicken it slightly use a little (about a teaspoon) flour or cornstarch. I didn't find this necessary, but if yours comes out watery.

Step 1. Mush your banana in with the ricotta, until it is smoothly blended.

Step 2. Sprinkle with the cinnamon. You can stir it in if you'd like.

Step 3. Heat in the microwave for at least 5 minutes. The cheese should be warm, and the banana pretty much melted.

Serve on it's own or with some fruit to dip.

Nubcakes! Aka Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

For those who are new to my post, I am a whole wheat nut. This is a recipe for a whole wheat breakfast treat. Making your own pancakes has never tasted so good! The greatest part is how simple it is to make the batter. It took about 4 minutes to get all my ingredients out and mix this up. The cook time will take about 7-10 minutes.



What you need:
1 cup of regular white flour
1 cup of whole wheat flour
2 eggs, beaten
1-1/3 cups of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 teaspoons of baking powder
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1-2 bananas mushed (I am a banana freak, so I mushed up two.)
**Optional** 1/2 cup of Walnuts, chopped into small bits

2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil or butter for the pan

**This will make about 10-12 pancakes.

Step 1. In a large mixing bowl mush up your banana.

Step 2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and stir until the mixture is even.

Step 3. Turn on your pan and let it get hot before you grease with butter or oil. This will give your batter the minute or two it needs to rest and thicken. Cook the pancakes on medium heat, so the outsides don't burn.

Step 4. Use approximately 1/4 cup of the pancake mix if you want small dials. If you want monster pancakes, use enough to cover the bottom of the pan with about a 1/2 cm or so layer of batter.

Step 5. When the top of the pancake is big and bubbly, flip it. You should only flip once.


Variation: Nubcakes fer da newbz
Instead of mixing your own batter you can use pancake mixes from the store. These are very tasty too. I tend to avoid ones with fruity fillings, and just add my own fresh fruit.

Also, if you have a sweet tooth you can add in a few chocolate chips.
