BANANA-CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• In large bowl, beat sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Beat in banana, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Divide dough in half. On cookie sheet, shape each half into 10x3-inch rectangle with greased hands (dough will be sticky).
• Bake about 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on cookie sheet 15 minutes; move to cutting board. Using sharp knife, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
• Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and dry on top. Turn cookies. Bake about 10 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.

BANANA RUM BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and stir to mix well. Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl, and add the sugar, banana, oil, and rum. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture, blend well, and drop in the pecans, mixing them thoroughly into the dough. Form the dough into 4 logs about 1/2 inch thick, place them onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, and bake for 25 minutes, until the cookie logs begin to brown.
• Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookie logs cool for 10 minutes. Remove the logs from the parchment paper and cut each log into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the biscotti back onto the cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes per side (30 minutes total) until cookies begin to brown. Remove to racks to cool. The biscotti will be soft at first, and will harden as they cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Combine bananas, cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl. Whisk until well blended, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in peanut butter chips. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Let bread cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove and finish cooling on a wire rack. Place a second cooling rack on top of a baking sheet.
• Slice loaves in half horizontally and then into 1-inch-thick pieces. Brush 1 side of each slice lightly with honey and place on the prepared cooling rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, about 40 minutes. Cool on the rack for at least 10 minutes; the biscotti will become crispier as they cool.
