    Notes

    A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe.

      Yes! Although you might want to add a touch of water to make the banana mash similar in texture to applesauce.

      Hi there, can you substitute the apple sauce for mashed banana?
