Variations

Are you gluten-free or vegan? No problem! 🌱🍪

**Gluten-Free Variation:** Use gluten-free biscuits in place of the regular sweet biscuits. Most stores carry a variety of gluten-free options that taste just as delicious.

**Vegan Variation:** Choose vegan-friendly biscuits and ensure your cocoa powder is free of any dairy or animal by-products. You'll still get all the flavor without compromising your dietary needs.

Faq

  • What kind of bananas should I use?

    Ripe bananas are the best for this recipe. They are easier to mash and naturally sweeter, which enhances the flavor of your treats.

  • Can I use any type of biscuit?

    Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of biscuits, but make sure they complement the cocoa and banana taste. Apricot flavored biscuits are a great choice!

  • How fine should the biscuit crumbs be?

    The crumbs should be finely ground so they mix well with the banana puree. However, a few small chunks can add an interesting texture.

  • Can I add other ingredients to the mix?

    Absolutely! Feel free to add some nuts, dried fruits, or even a splash of vanilla extract. Creativity is encouraged!

  • How long can I store these treats?

    These treats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

  • Do I need to refrigerate them before serving?

    While these treats can be enjoyed right away, refrigerating them for about 10-15 minutes can enhance their flavor and texture.
