Your Jr. Chef can make Banana Peanut Butter Dessert


Blend banana chunks, peanut butter, milk (any kind) and honey (variable depending on ripeness of bananas). If the bananas are room-temp, you’ll have creamy soup. If the bananas are frozen, it’ll be more like soft-serve ice cream. Mixture can be frozen in silicone muffin tray, popped out/bagged/put back in the freezer (may darken/oxidize, flavor shouldn’t be much changed). Top with chocolate sprinkles/spoonful of chocolate syrup for serving. Parental supervision.
