Bananas + Biscuits = Yum!

DSC02905

For those of you who have read my blog a few times know this post has several elements that are fairly standard to my blog.  Bananas.  We’re fond of bananas and you can find quite a few recipes here where bananas are key.  Another two are caramel and cinnamon which for me pretty much go hand in hand with bananas. Wait, who am I kidding?  There isn’t much those two don’t go with. (Am I right, Grace? Monica?) But the last two are quick and easy.  I love pretzels and cinnamon rolls but I really, really love quick and easy especially when it’s full of flavor! These upside down banana pecan biscuits, that I found on Monica’s blog  deliver on quick, easy, AND flavor.

Wait! It gets better.  There’s no wrong way to make these and customize them to your tastes.  You don’t like bananas?  Want  walnuts instead?  Play with it…make the recipe yours!  My two suggestions for maximizing the flavors are to lightly toast your nuts especially if you’re adding them straight from the freezer (They’re not in the oven long enough to get nice a toasty.) and to use the canned (Make your own if you’re so inclined but did you catch the key words, quick and easy?) biscuits that are your favorite.  Don’t go with ones you hate but they’re on sale and you think you won’t mind them in this recipe.  You will.  (I made that mistake with this pie and bought the cheapy crust. Learn from my mistakes.  :))

I think I’ve made these once a week since I first saw them on Monica’s.  Needless to say my crew loves them.  The Twins top theirs with vanilla ice cream but Babygirl likes her plain with no nuts.  (Click here for a printable recipe!)

Ok, these sound fantastic! We eat tons of bananas here, so I know they'd be popular!

Lucie said...

Except in banana bread, I've never been a fan of bananas for some reason. Sometimes, just the smell makes me queasy. But these? Ohhh. They might just make me love bananas...

so pretty and yummy looking!
I don't really like bananas raw, but I could get into these :)

amycaseycooks said...

I make more banana muffins than I care to mention. These biscuits look amazing and I see more fruit possibilities....

Cristine said...

Oh yum!!!!!

grace said...

you're right, ingrid--there are very few things to which i don't add an extra zap of cinnamon! this is a great and totally versatile recipe. i imagine apples and walnuts (and cinnamon). or blueberries and almonds (and cinnamon). yum. :)

April said...

These look fantastic!! I think this will be a great breakfast this Saturday!!

oneordinaryday said...

I do love the quick and easy route, but my guys wouldn't eat these! They are a bunch of weirdos and don't like your beloved banana in anything. I can occasionally get them to eat one out of hand, but that's about where it ends. : ( Sad, I know. I told you they're weird. haha

Keeley said...

Super YUM! I've been meaning to bake these. We love bananas, too!

Smitten Sugar said...

Leslie said...

I think this is my favourite sticky bun/cinnamon bun variation you've ever featured!

Heather Baird said...

Oh, I just love banana recipes! Yum! Thanks Ingrid!

Plain Chicken said...

YUM! Great idea. Thanks!

Mimi said...

A quick easy treat, perfect for our house. You could ad a splash of rum and have Bananas Foster on a biscuit.

Danae said...

Yum! They look delicious!

And guess what! I left you a little present on my blog :)

Delicious Dishings said...

I just made banana cupcakes last night, but I thought they needed a little something so I added cinnamon to the batter -- we must be on the same wavelength!

Elle Bee said...

These look absolutely delicious! We love bananas at our house too. I can't believe how many bananas we go through...like 5 a day? Oh my gosh. That's a lot of bananas. Thanks for the recipe so we can continue our banana obsession too! :o)

Lisa said...

They look amazingly delicious and moist. I love baking with bananas. Always like to let a few get overly ripe just for that.

My mouth is so watering right now!!!

Jaime said...

holy yum! i love bananas too :)

about the red velvet cupcakes - i guess i've read from others that the recipe isn't very classic red velvet. i haven't had many before so i didnt have a good basis of comparison. all i can say is that whatever they taste like, they are good :) just a head's up in case you decide to try them.

teresa said...

these look fantastic! ingrid, did i tell you i made your delicious banana crisp the other night? it was so good, we couldn't stop eating it! GREAT recipe, love your blog!

The Blonde Duck said...

I made a bar cookie for tommorow! You'll love it! No PB!

I've never heard of such! But C. loves bananas, and his mama loves biscuits, so we're definitely going to try this.

Unknown said...

I LOVE bananas! These seem perfect for me, only I seem to have a weird kind of problem where quick and easy doesnt appeal to me, over scratch :(

becky said...

0o0oh man... i'm seriously drooling over here!!

kimberleyblue said...

Those look just perfect. Bananas and caramel? Yes please!

And what an easy dessert to prepare too, which only makes these better.

Monica H said...

Ooh I want to make these again! I might have to try blueberries instead of bananas though just for something different. I do think these would be awesome with ice cream for dessert- your kids are brilliant!

Rachel said...

These look soooo delicious! I'm drooling!

Lorie said...

Yes, I love, love, love bananas, caramel and cinnamon, too.

Lo said...

mmm. Cinnamon. Bananas. Definitely drool-worthy. And perfect, I dare-say, for the upcoming weekend.

Katy ~ said...

Bananas sound delectable, but right now I'm dreaming peaches!! I have some frozen and the idea is just too overwhelming to resist. I think I have enough to make these for breakfast tomorrow.

Hugs my friend for this fabulous find and share. I cannot wait to bite into my first biscuit. YUM YUM YUM!!!

Faith said...

Wow, what a great idea! The bananas look deliciously caramelized and gooey...bookmarking! :)

Mary said...

I will have to admit I don't cook a lot, but I read cook books like they are novels. I LOVE looking at photos of food. When I am dieting I can't get enough photos of food. I just have to tell you I love your food photos. Everything look luscious.

Kristen said...

I knew I've seen this buns before! I follow Lick the Bowl Good also! I'm going to try these next weekend for my guests!

tobias cooks! said...

what a great idea. I will use that for the next brunch I am doing.

Megan said...

I love that you can make tham your own and I love that they use the canned biscuits. These would be a perfect recipe anytime but I'm thinking when we go camping in our RV. Love things like this recipe.

Lot-O-Choc said...

Totally agree with you. Bananas in anything is a definite YUM to me.

The Blonde Duck said...

Thanks for the parents compliment. :)

Barbara said...

Wow! That picture made my mouth water! And with canned biscuits too? What could be simpler and more heavenly?

Robin said...

I HAVE to make these. My middle son loves my banana bread so I think he would love this. I have to make it without nuts cuz of his allergies. Maybe I can use cinnamon chips instead...

Hey you are welcome in BRK any time. Give a shout if you are ever in the DC area! Really.

Talita said...
