My niece is super allergic to any nuts what can i use instead
Mariane, Is your niece allergic to sunflower seeds? There are some nut butter alternatives made with sunflower seeds. Be sure to read all the ingredients, though.
I LOVE the banana sushi idea! I am going to try giving them to my two whirlwinds that call themselves toddlers tonight. 🙂
Good luck 😉
Those all look so good. And totally not just for kids.. ha ha.
That’s what I was thinking, too!
I tried the peanut butter recipe and it is not kid friendly at all. It is very messy because when the kids try to put the peanut butter on, it doesn’t go on so easily and sticks to the hands more than the banana.
Peanut butter can definitely be a challenging ingredient. Especially when applying it to any surface that’s not completely dry. It does help to pat down fruit with a paper towel to absorb any moisture, but peanut butter is always going to stick to hands (and the roof of your mouth!).
