{Baked} Cinnamon Sugar Banana Lumpia

Remember when I posted that pizookie earlier in the week and then I posted those whole-wheat crusted chicken tenders to balance everything out? Well, it’s back to a dessert dish. And you’ll probably hate me for posting this but I just had to share it with you.
Behold the banana lumpia, a traditional Filipino snack, which involves a fried banana.

I just noticed that I have some sort of banana theme going on this week, which was totally unintentional, with the baked french toast, the banana peanut butter muffins and now this sinful snack cake.

Sitting down to a complete breakfast meal is a bit of a challenge for me. See, my morning ritual involves waking up at 6:30AM while constantly slamming on the snooze button, leaving me to wake up at 7:00AM. By then, I’m obviously so late to work, yet I still check my email, my blog comments, my twitter, my Facebook and my Pinterest accounts. Yeah, it’s exhausting.

So I’m a bit picky when it comes to bananas. They have to have a bit of green in them, but they can’t be too green where it’s impossible to peel. Now with these expectations, there’s really a small window of opportunity to have the “perfect” banana because as soon as a single spot appears on the banana, it’s done. That’s where it goes in the “to-be-baked-with” stash.
