I love creating new recipes with fun ingredients that we all love. I wanted to create a new banana recipe because we always seem to have browning bananas in our house. I made this super easy Banana Chocolate Chip Cheesecake and it really could not have been easier.
We have lived many places over the years, but for the exception of one house, all of the houses we have lived in have small kitchens. I have learned to give up my counter space and adapt by getting creative with storage, but man, it can be tough to have a cramped and cluttered kitchen. I am happy to report that yes, you can have the finer things of the kitchen, even if you have a small kitchen or no storage space! This recipe, along with pretty much anything else, can be made with the new KitchenAid Artisan® Mini. It is lighter, smaller, and takes up less counterspace, but it has the same design and power as other KitchenAid tilt-head stand mixers.
