What started as an attempt to use bananas before they had to be thrown out turned into one of our family’s favorite desserts. It is sweet enough to taste like dessert but when paired with the nut butter of your choice, makes a great breakfast for those crazy mornings (assuming it lasts that long– it never does around here!).
Pro-tip: peel and freeze those bananas before they go completely bad so you’ll always have bananas on hand!
