I have had this recipe for some time and sorta resisted trying them. I tried them last night and let me tell you they were very very good! They had a mild chewiness – I did not add rains to half of this batch and both were very good! You would think since these are made with banana that it would taste like banana – but it only carried a minor flavor of banana. You can make them with whole milk instead of almond milk and you can cut the cinnamon in half or eliminate it all together. I added 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips to half this recipe and they came out perfect. I imagine you could substitute all or part of the raisins with chopped nut or dried cranberries. I highly recommend this recipe!

Spray with pan spray with a light coating. Dunk into cinnamon mixture or powdered sugar. Dip into powdered sugar mixed with water and then dunk into chocolate sprinkles or candy colored sprinkles. Imagination is key here and this is a quick and easy project for you to do with the kids to keep them entertained. It is surely something to make a tradition in your home every year and get a few long laughs along the way!
