Raffi and Banana Cookies

So they babes and I have been listening to this almost everyday, it is so enjoyable! I never knew Raffi when I was growing up, but I am ever grateful to my husband for introducing me to him -- for my sake as much as my children's. The link is to a concert Raffi did somewhere in Canada, maybe during the late 70's? The video is about 45 minutes long, and is nothing but charming.

The other day I was driving to get some milk, and I was singing with George. I asked him if we should sing "Banana Phone". He said, "Banana phone?!" in a tone that said, "Mom, that is the silliest thing I've ever heard!!" Raffi has been hours of wholesome entertainment in our home.

We don't actually watch, we just turn it on and dance! Enjoy!

In honor of the "Banana Phone", here is a delectable banana recipe with only half a cup of sweetener.

Banana Cookies:

1 1/2 cups mashed banana
2 cups sprouted grain flour (I used spelt)
1/2 cup Rapadura
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 eggs
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. clove
1 + tsp. cinnamon
Nuts (optional)

Mix ingredients. Bake at 350, for 10 minutes. Eat. :)

I prefer to slather mine with butter...

Be creative with the spices you add. I think they would welcome allspice, and nutmeg.
