Notes

Recipe Notes & Substitutions

Banana: If you don't have any bananas in the house, use applesauce instead.

Milk: Any kind of milk should work for this (skim, 2%, almond, coconut, etc)

Peanut Butter: I've also tried this recipe with powdered peanut butter (PB2) and really liked it - it still has great peanut butter flavor but with fewer calories and fat. If you decide to go this route, simply increase the milk to 1 3/4 c.

Chocolate Chips: You can also use regular chocolate chips (instead of mini). I like mini because you get a little bit with every bite!

Maple Syrup: If you don't have any maple syrup, you can use honey or agave nectar instead.
