In order to use up some excess pumpkin puree and a few particularly ripe bananas, I developed this dessert. It’s a healthier cake that isn’t overly sweet but is yet flavorful. For optimum results, make sure to use bananas that are incredibly, incredibly overripe. Feel free to drizzle some sort of icing over the cake’s top if you want to increase the sweetness. To suit your preferences, change the spices and add-ins (such as the nuts and chocolate).

This is our go-to chicken seasoning, & I always have a container of it in the cupboard. It’s delicious, and it doesn’t really taste like any of the individual components, so try it even if you typically don’t like one part. Even my picky kid likes it on her wings. I do omit both types of pepper since one of my kids is very sensitive to spice.
I’ve been using this rub for years and it’s become my go to. Also works great on pork.
I used to make the beer can chicken recipe by Steven raichlen, but couldn’t find my two recipe books. I went online and found this. I’m hooked and my guests liked it to. I love a little heat and this was perfect. Loved the blend of spices for a more complex flavor. Raichlen’s recipe just had one flavor vs many. Will definitely make it again.
outstanding! best beer can bird I ever ate
Used the rub on a small bone in pork loin. The old adage is true. Cook it Low Cook it Slow eat no swine before it’s time! Cooked on my my smoker/grill on indirect heat for about 6 hours. (250-275 Degrees Fahrenheit)
I’ve used this several times in chicken we put in the smoker. It’s delicious!
Followed recipe exactly.
Great spice mixture!
I have used it on chicken several times but today I thought I’d live dangerously. I used it on a pork butt and slow roasted it at 200 all day. I think I will never be able to surpass it! The best pulled pork I ever made! Will make in large batches and have on hand at all times now
best recipe on this app. made it for 3 different family’s and all say it’s the best they’ve had.
Made it as directed . Tasted great. Probably enough for 3 chickens, I prepared 2 and had plenty.
I made this on triplicate for a BIG cookout using a pellet grill/smoker. I did this twice. The first time it was good but the cumin was very strong. The second time I used 1/3 less of the cumin and 1/3 less of the ground pepper. I also gave the ribs and chicken a light rub as opposed to caking it on. The second time around….was perfect. Thanks!
Where there were no amounts noted I added what I thought was appropriate. It worked out. Great taste! I doubled so I had some for next time. I added 1 tbsp salt; think I would add a pinch more next time. Thanks Ed!
We loved it, kids included!!
Unbelievably delicious! A delicious mix of sweet, salty, savory and spicy. My husband fell in love with me all over again!
This was excellent, very versatile. I used it on my pork chops but I think any piece of meat would be a great accompaniment to this spice. I quartered the recipe because I didn’t need a large batch like the one listed – just 1 T – but I’m going to make this just as listed this weekend so I can have it on hand when needed for an excellent dinner tweak-er.
This was fantastic. I made the amount suggested and used it on the whole (6 lb.) bird. I know it seems like a lot but think about how much meat needs to get seasoned! I rubbed the rub in between the skin and the breast meat. I also melted about a tbsp worth in some butter and brushed that on the chicken right before grilling. I grilled the chicken on cedar planks and it came out very, very flavorful. Fantastic rub!
Best B.C. chicken! My wife and kiddos ate that yard bird like they were never gonna eat chicken again! It was like lil chicken hawk going after Foghorn Leghorn. Its easy to have a few while your bird steams with PBR.
I tried this rub the first time last year and it has been my go to meat seasoning since. I absolutely love it! Just a note though is watch on the grill because the sugar likes to burn.
I made this last night and it was super awesome. I love making beer can chicken. It’s so easy, and this rub was a great compliment.
Fantastic! Good as a rub or just a seasoning!
