Choco-Banana Bread Bites

My son loved these, my daughter thought they were ok…for my family of picky eaters that is pretty good.  These are a nice moist cookie that really does taste like a banana bread.

3/4 cup Evaporated Milk

2 tbsp vinegar

1 cup ripe mashed bananas (2-3 medium)

1 banana, sliced 1/4" and quartered (about 2/3 cup)

1 tsp baking soda

1 egg

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup canola oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

36 banana chips, optional

• Preheat oven to 350F.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine evaporated milk and vinegar in a medium bowl.  Stir well.  Mixture will thicken.  Add mashed bananas, sliced bananas and baking soda.
• Whisk egg, brown sugar, oil and vanilla in a separate large bowl.  Stir in flour and baking powder.  Add banana mixture and stir until mixture is well combined.  Add chocolate chips.
• Drop 2 tbsp of dough on prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.  Place a banana chip on top of each cookie.
• Bake in preheated oven, 13 to 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.  Let cool, 5 minutes and then transfer to wire cooling rack.

**Add some crunch with 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
