What size cookie sheet?
Every time I make these, everyone asks for the recipe. They assume it is a simple little banana cake, but it is so much more. I have chosen this over a chocolate dessert many times over! My family and I have talked about all of the things this frosting would be good on… sweet potatoes, pancakes, crepes, dip for graham crackers! It is my go to dessert because it is so easy and fast to make! It fills up my large cookie sheet perfectly! Thank you!!!
