Think spring ... think strawberries, think rhubarb (even if, technically, rhubarb's a vegetable). But in the food blog world, spring's favorite fruit turns out to be ...

banana!

For the Morning
From Our Kitchen bakes banana scones and A Veggie Way raves about whole wheat banana muffins.

For the Sweet Times
Food Beam gives a twist to a childhood favorite in a banana and muscavado sugar cake, Something So Clever moans over her banana butterscotch cake and Baking Sheet, after many tries, manages to produce a banana oatmeal cookie that tastes like a banana bread but has the consistency of a cookie. Congratulations, Nic!
