Nutrition
Bananas vary in size. What’s a good amount to use, either by volume or by weight?
As a good rule of thumb, 2 bananas is ~1 cup mashed
I just found y’all and this recipe. I love it—so easy and yummy. I eat one for breakfast most every morning. I ran out of natural jarred PB, so I made my own with salted peanuts I had on hand. The cookies came out even more delicious with the homemade PB. They are like fudge… mmmmm! Thanks again.
Wonderful!
I’m not a fan of bananas. Can you taste them in the cookies? If so, is there a substitute for the bananas?
you can use applesauce
Can you substitute peanut butter powder for the peanut butter? Thanks very much! Can’t wait to try
Sorry we’ve never tried that so we aren’t sure
