Expert Tips

*For spicy flavor, omit dried milk or creamer. If dried milk is used, flavor will be less spicy and a little sweeter.

Great recipe for gatherings or to give as a gift. I tried a flavored creamer (french vanilla this time, but thinking pumpkin or something else would be good too) to give some richness and extra sweetness. OK, I added a little more of the spices too.

This is so good and easy to make. I made it for several people for Christmas last year.

This was VERY yummy and a hit with my friends and family. I baked for 60 min. but next time would do no more than 45 min. My kids are not fans of banana chips so I used dried cranberries and those worked real well and added some nice color to the mix.

This was so yummy! Everyone in my family loves it. The only change I made is I substituted cherry flavored Craisins for the banana chips because we do not like banana chips very well. I also want to try it a few more times using other dried fruits such as chopped dried apricots, raisins, dried berries, and dried apples instead of the bananas just to see which fruit we like the best in it.Can''t wait to make it again!
