Notes

  • Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version (which is what I do now).
  • If your bananas are not super ripe, you can add a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
  • Make this vegan by choosing dairy-free milk.
  • The extra add-ins and any extra sweetness is not included in the nutrition information and calorie count.
