If eating better was a New Year's resolutions, there's no better way to welcome 2015 than with this virtuous treat. Ignore the sugar (and optional whipping cream) and focus on the fruit. This recipe is so packed with bananas that it's practically a potassium supplement – a warm, soft, butterscotch-drizzled super-food.

Tips: If you're baking on the spur of the moment, it's easy to make substitutions. Feel free to replace: baking soda with 3 1/4 tsp baking powder; Greek yogurt with sour cream; dark brown sugar with light brown sugar; cinnamon with a pinch of allspice or nutmeg; canola oil with melted butter.
