When life hands me overripe bananas, I hand life back banana desserts and smoothies. I either freeze them to make ice-free smoothies for light breakfasts (my fav being peanut butter/vanilla/banana), or make them into my Dad's Favorite Banana Bread.
For this round of overripe bananas, however- I wanted to try something a bit different. Armed with an arsenal of gluten-free baking ingredients I picked up from H Mart, I set my sights on making a gluten-free dessert, with a slight twist.
