Can anyone guess the secret healthy ingredient?
Nope, its NOT beans… it’s BANANA! 🍌
Okay so I thought of this idea because I happened to have a bucket of ripe bananas… and I’m genuinely shocked by how delicious these cups are. The banana provides a natural creaminess & sweetness that isn’t overpowering, and these cups have the perfect fudgy cookie-dough texture right out of the freezer!
