Notes
- Nutrition will vary based on the nut butter, fruit, and toppings used.
- Use firm ripe bananas for the best frozen texture.
- Pat juicy fruit dry before adding it to help reduce ice crystals.
- Store leftovers in an airtight freezer-safe container with parchment between layers.
- Do not thaw and refreeze the treats, because the texture can become soft and watery.
