I bought a new bag yesterday and found one lone banana-flavored Tootsie Pop
Banana-flavored anything tastes nothing like real bananas I don’t know how they think this tastes like this a banana.
It doesn’t. But that’s ok. Most foods with banana flavoring have a really unique taste and you either love it or hate it Banana Laffy Taffy anyone?
I’ve mentioned that I actually don’t really like bananas by themselves but that in things, they are magical. I have a Banana Recipes post where I highlight my recipes that use bananas in them: Microwave Banana Blueberry Oat Cakes (vegan, GF, single serving)
Peanut Butter Banana Bread (vegan, GF) and No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Protein Bars And more. Also, if you have any ripe bananas that you need to use up, asap, check it out Questions:
- What’s your take on banana-flavored foods? Sometimes I am down for the fake banana flavored stuff. The banana Tootsie pop was good but I think I’m good for a long time with banana flavoring. Wait. Until Halloween and the fun-sized Laffy Taffy’s are out! Which is soon.
- Do you like bananas? Fave way to eat them? As I said above, I actually don’t really like bananas by themselves but that in things, they are great. In vegan and/or gluten free baking, bananas are superstars. They really help replace eggs (moisture + help things bind) and replace gluten (help things bind and stick together) in one fell swoop. They’re also superstars with frozen (vegan & GF) treats & smoothies, too. Vanilla Banana Avocado “Ice Cream” anyone? It’s was 93F here in San Diego today! A scorcher again!
