ReplyDeleteCan you use bananas instead of applesauce without changing the texture?
ReplyDeleteI think mashed banana would give a similar texture but they will probably have a slight banana taste. I bet it would be tasty! :)
DeleteThese came out really good! I just made a batch. I used banana instead of applesauce. I cut back on the sweetener, since bananas are so sweet. I used only 3 tablespoons of maple syrup. They're great! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYum! Now I want to make a batch! :) Enjoy!
