Happy National Banana Bread Day! Recipe Round-Up and More!

You may not know that National Banana Bread Day is a few days away on February 23rd, and I thought it would be a good idea to give you guys a few recipes to celebrate with!

However, seven different banana bread recipes did not seem like a fun idea for a post...  So here is a round-up of unique and alternative banana bread recipes plus a cute little extra project linked up to Do Tell Tuesday over the past few weeks.

Let's take a peek!

I decided to pick out a variety recipes and projects for this round-up.  Basically, I have a different recipe for if you: want to make something healthy, want something more decadent, prefer smaller treats to a loaf, want to sneak some veggies to your kids, don't have ripe bananas on hand, or don't even like bananas!

1.  Banana Muffins (for the Lazy Person!)

First up, this recipe is for people who love cupcakes over cake or just like a pre-portioned bit of sweetness.  It is topped with my favorite ever cream cheese frosting.  :)  This was my first ever feature and one of my most popular recipes in 2013!  It is super easy and whips up quick in a blender.  Check it out!

2.  Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipe

Want a healthier version of the classic recipe?  Try this one made with whole wheat flour!

3.  Veggie Muffins

This one from my co-host Alicia sneaks broccoli into these muffins, and it is kid-approved.  You'll want to see the picture proof of her little one enjoying these gems!

4.  Write A Secret Message On A Banana

Well, what if you don't have any ripe bananas on hand?  Why not write a secret message on your banana using this cute tip and then...

...Bake some bread using this recipe!

5.  Easy Baked Bread – Ready in an Hour

Get it?  Banana + Bread = Banana Bread.  That way, you can celebrate National Banana Bread Day even if you don't have any ripe bananas around.  Besides, this bread looks fantastic!

6.  Caramelized Sainsburys Fairtrade Banana Cream Pie

What if you would prefer to make another banana dessert?  Try this decadent sounding banana cream pie, which is not quite banana bread, but I won't tell!

7. Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Bread

What if you just plain don't like banana bread or bananas?  This pumpkin cranberry walnut bread is a great alternative and pretty darn tasty looking!

Which one looks most tantalizing to you?  I have my eye on a couple of these recipes for sure!

Happy National Banana Bread Day!
