Maruya

I was up all night last night watching for the umpteenth time past seasons of The Walking Dead on Netflix. Like the rest of the world’s female population, I just can’t get enough of Daryl Dixon. He’s got to be the tastiest, I mean, the sexiest man alive.

Anyway, #wipingdrooloffmyface, when I rolled out of bed this morning, I had a pounding headache and was in dire need of a massive jolt of both caffeine and sugar. My morning cappucino was just a matter of a Kuerig button but a piece of something sweet to pair with my cup required a bit more effort. G and I like to graze throughout the day so we always keep cookies, muffins or danishes around the house. But today when I needed one sugary piece the most, we had none. NONE. No white chip chocolate cookies. No mini cherry cheesecakes. No banana bread loaves. No cheese cupcakes. No coconut macaroons. NONE.

I was about to make a fast run to the nearby donut shop when I spied on a bunch of saba bananas sitting on the kitchen counter. Amen for little blessings. They were ripe and soft and perfect for fritter-making. Oh yeah, a quick batter later, I was savoring nicely-crisp, sugar-dusted maruya with my morning jo. Best way to start the day.

    Hi Lalaine,

    Lol! You’re funny.. 🙂 Likewise, I am enamored by Daryl Dixon myself.. and speaking of Maruya, my absolute favorite banana comfort food/dessert. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I’m off to the store to get me the plantain bananas.
