This recipe surprised me. It sounded good overall, when I found it I was trying to use up some ripe bananas and pears..so it worked out. I felt like there were a lot of ingredients and I ended up forgetting the vanilla lol. I ended up subbing coconut sugar instead of brown and didn't have lemon on hand but I still think it turned out good. I can't wait to try variations of this!

Did you make this recipe?
