I think I could convince myself that this could be a breakfast recipe instead of a dessert.

It just tells you that all that is hyped it not necessary great, our humble banana shows us that! Last Word In the competition of the best fruit, there are no clear winners or losers.

Bananas are not better for you than apples. The nutrients in apples cover a whole page 81/2 x 11" single-spaced. Bananas don't have nearly the nutrients that apples do. But THIS IS A GREAT RECIPE. I just added some cinnamon to it and it was sublime!
