Over ripe bananas hanging on the stand are a question mark in each ones home and we really think hard to waste one banana.That doesn't matter to kids and the kids are very tricky pangs too :-).They like a fruit every week and its difficult to convince them,even though we mothers try our best to feed them the vitamins and minerals.Earlier I had tried the Steamed banana cake and Banana fritters ,but kids demand each time a new recipe.I did have these over riped bananas at home and so this recipe was bookmarked from my aunt's recipe book.I added apples too in this recipe as my kids are now reluctant to eat apples as such :-).Her recipe was made using sweet plantains alone.I replaced it with bananas and apples.Here,is a sweet recipe to please kids and I think its a good healthy option for adults too who like halwas.
