Baking Wonder Cups

- Banana Prep:
- Squish those ripe bananas until they're totally smooth to make the perfect wet base.
- Mixing It Up:

Getting it right comes down to using bananas with enough brown spots and mixing everything just right. You'll get better with each batch you make.
Perfect Companions
These taste great warm or cool with your morning coffee or tea. Tuck them into lunch boxes for a midday pick-me-up. They're also fantastic with a fruit smoothie.
Year-Round Twists
Switch things up as the seasons change. Try adding pumpkin spice when fall arrives, mix in cranberries and orange in winter, or toss in different berries during summer months.
Keeping Them Fresh
They'll stay good in a sealed container for three days on your counter. You can also freeze them between sheets of parchment paper for up to three months. Just let them thaw overnight for the best texture.
