Leftovers Time Equals Dessert TIme!

Since we have so many leftovers and we're just microwaving noodles for dinner, I decided to take the reigns in the kitchen and bake a dessert! Well, I was gonna make it anyways. After seeing this recipe from Taste Food Blog featured on thekitchn.com, I knew I had to make it. We had overripe bananas in the freezer and all of the rest of the ingredients except for some coconut flakes. I used to always throw away bananas that were too brown to eat, but after I started making smoothies and breads more often, I always keep them and just freeze them! ...even if I don't have an immediate use for them. There's nothing like getting a craving to make banana bread now , and not having brown bananas.

I also thought I would add a runny frosting to the top. I knew that confectioner's sugar, milk, and vanilla made a frosting with the consistency that I wanted, but I wanted it to be more coconuty!! So, I used cream of coconut instead! It turned the mixture into more of like a paste or dough instead of runny frosting, so I still added a drizzle of milk, but it added the perfect coconut taste that I was looking for!
