Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• 2-3 mashed bananas should yield a little less than a cup.
• To ripen bananas that are not yet ripe enough, place them in a paper lunch bag overnight. They should be ripe in the morning.
• I recommend using large muffin liners or cupcake papers for this recipe.
• Use any type of store-bought granola for the topping.
