PRALINE PECAN CRUNCH SNACK MIX



Praline Pecan Crunch Snack Mix image

In our family, we call this "Crunchy-Crunchy." My mother-in-law makes a big batch of this every Christmas. We receive it in the big box of gifts and my youngest is very excited to see "Grandma's Crunchy-Crunchy" snack mix. I sometimes make it myself, but it's more special to receive it from Grandma, you know? It is great for gift giving in a nice air-tight plastic container. Great to put out for a sweet snack, any time of the year! Note: I have added a little salt to the recipe as a personal preference. If you want to leave it out as the original recipe calls for, you can do so. Enjoy!

BANANA SNACK CAKE WITH COCONUT, CHOCOLATE AND PECAN STREUSEL



Banana Snack Cake with Coconut, Chocolate and Pecan Streusel image

The overripe banana is the baker's best friend. Unlike wilted lettuce and mealy apples, squishy brown bananas make for fabulous baked goods. I keep them in a big plastic bag in the freezer, adding super-soft specimens weekly. Here I've mashed them into a super-moist snack cake. The pecan and coconut streusel takes this treat way above the average banana bread and chunks of chocolate make the tender crumb irresistible.

1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
