Sometimes there are days when you just need a bit of comfort. These are days that aren't necessarily bad for you, but something happens and it makes you sad. They are the ones when you just need a bit of comfort and familiarity.
I had one of those days recently. And food can be a really great comfort. It's cool that way. It can calm you down, excite you, provide you with comfort and can even make you cry. If you ask me, I think food has morphed into something much more than a necessity (at least for me in my sheltered view living in my comfortable western world). Because I have access to it, I can use it as a tool to make myself feel better, comfort me, celebrate successes, and grieve losses. I think that is neat.
This comfort recipe is perfect. Banana bread meets chocolate chip cookie, with the added surprise of a bit of a butterscotch sundae mixed in. Probably my three favourite things all mixed into one little bundle of sweet comfort. If you are sharing these, I suggest doubling the recipe.
