Hey My Banana Splits! 
Thanks for all of your kind comments on my last post. I’m glad that so many of you have done a Leap of Faith too!! I know that doing it has changed me for the better — and surprisingly, I wouldn’t mind doing it again if I got the chance. I’d cry, but I’d still do it.
Pizzerts are definitely one of my favorite desserts. You can eat them for breakfast too (or lunch, or dinner)!
As part of the Detox I am doing (which only has 1 week left!), we’re supposed to cut out gluten to see how we feel and such. I don’t think I am doing such a good job – Me and Gluten are like best buds. It doesn’t seem to bother me, so I don’t worry about it. But to go along with the Detox, I though I would give myself a Challenge.
You know my love of Pizzert Babies? This morning, I wanted some. So I thought to make some Gluten Free!
I was also in the mood for a Banana Split and a Brownie kind of thing.
I succeeded.
Gluten Free. Vegan. Dairy Free.
No Sugar Added. Deliciousness.
Banana Split Brownie Pizzert Babies!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup gluten-free baking mix or other gluten-free flour (I used oat flour)
- 1 tsp carob powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp worth of sugar (I used 7 drops of liquid stevia)
- 1/4 cup nondairy milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- handful(s) of pecan pieces and mini carob chips
Top each with Vegan Cream Cheese (which I added liquid stevia to so it was more like cream cheese frosting), banana slice quarters, carob chips, and cherries! (see note)
Notes: Regular cream cheese would work too. Or even Coconut Cream. Or Peanut Butter!!! Pumpkin would work in place of the applesauce. You can use any kind of fruit you would like to top your Pizzert babies. If you don’t use a liquid that has vanilla in it, add about 1/2 tsp of vanilla. Cocoa Powder and Chocolate Chips can be used in place of the Carob powder and chips. If you want to be absolutely decadent, try using cream cheese frosting in place of the cream cheese!
Directions
Combine the flour, carob powder, baking powder, stevia (or sweetener, if dry), and pecan bits in a small bowl.
Stir in the milk, applesauce, and stevia (or sweetener if wet).
Add Pecans and Carob Chips!
Spoon about 1 Tbsp of the batter into each sprayed muffin tin cup, resulting in 6 “babies.”
Bake the Pizzert Babies at 350*F for about 5-6 minutes, or until firm in the center and bounces back when tapped.
Let cool few a minute or two.
Now it’s time to bring out your artistic skills and HAVE SOME FUN!
Top each Pizzert Baby with the cream cheese, carob chips, bananas pieces, and cherries.
These Babies are almost too cute to eat. Almost.

Do you like Banana Splits? I LOVE THEM!
Have you ever had Bean Brownies? I haven’t, but I really want to!
Do you eat Gluten Free? I don’t really worry about gluten for me, but I know quite a few of you guys out there that do eat that way!
xoxox
Wowwwwie! So excited to feature this
.
Do you have a lot ofpeople making desserts
Oh, that is amazing! They really look almost too cute to eat!
I love anything with banana, so Banana Splits are always an option:)
I was really intrigued by the idea of bean brownies when I first saw them around the internet, but I haven´t tried them yet. I think they must taste great, brownies are awesome and beans are awesome, so nothing bad can come fromt his combo!
I like gluten! I can´t imagine going gluten free, but I have never experienced any problems with it, so I won´t be messing with my gluten
Hehe, bananas are one of my weaknesses too! They are just SO good!
Wee! Your pizzert babies are TOO CUTE! And I think I would prefer them over the full sized version. Love them!
I know you would love them!!! When you try them, give me a holler!
Wow these pizzert babies are so cute!! I love that they are mini sized, yumm
I’m glad you like them!
I eat gluten-free
I feel so much better doin it!
Does gluten effect you like sugar does?
these are too cute!!!
Thanks!
OOH MY GOSH!! i seriously love these!!! u are so creative Kathleen!
Awwww, thanks Carrie! You are so sweet.
I’d love to get feedback from you if you try them! 
Yuum!!! These look really good! I eat partially gluten-free……I feel a lot better when I avoid most gluten!
I remember when you were saying you were getting really bad stomach aches and such with gluten. I’m glad that you found what was bothering you!
Aw, your pizzerts are so beatiful!! Really really cute! Love the cherries:)
I havent cut out gluten, but I dont eat much of it.. I dont use a whole lot of flour (although I LOVE that you use oat in this- love oat flour!), but I eat lots of barley, oat, whole wheat pasta, quinoa ect. Some of it has gluten. As long as I eat balanced I dont worry about gluten. I feel like it is natural to have a little!
I feel the same way. If you don’t have celiac disease or gluten intollerance, eating gluten is perfectly natural!
Thanks!
You’ve done it again! I LOVE your pizzert babies and these look amazing!
I’m hit and miss with gluten. Sometimes I’ll go gluten free, other times not. I have tried to take it out of my diet but didn’t really notice a difference in how I felt so for now gluten + paije = a-ok
I don’t really worry about gluten. I can’t really feel a difference either when I eat gluten or not. Thanks Paije!
If you give them a try, tell me how you like them.
I’ve never had an actual banana split…but these looks so good I may never have too! YUM!
You’ve never had a Banana Split?! Kaila, MAKE ONE!!! Girl, make yourself one, even if it is with Bananner Ice Cream!!! They are AMAZING!!!!!!!
How cute
Love the muffin tin idea! At first I was like “how did she make them so perfect!?” lolll 
And I’ve made bean brownies before! They’re so good! I gave my dad some and he couldn’t even tell that they weren’t “real” brownies 
Aw, shucks.
Thanks! Lol, that’s too funny with your dad! I should try that on my dad! 
these are genius and so adorable!!!
I was going to try using beans for the first time the other day but then I forgot to add them in …bleeeeeh hello short term memory
Thanks Mariah! I’ve made cookies with beans in them, but I haven’t tried the bean brownies yet. Have you tried the dessert hummus?
Welp, I know what’s for breakfast tomorrow! I’ve never made these, ever! so excited!!!
Whitney
You’ve never had a Pizzert?!?!?! Girl, you need to go make one!
Oh. My. Geeze. Are you trying to kill me with your amazing treats? Holy moly. Making these asap. Im sure it will be another one of my favorites
I’d love to hear your feedback!
I love banana split flavored stuff! I made a banana split overnight oat parfait once and it was amazing. I’ve never thought of doing pancakes or pizzerts like that, but it’s such a good idea!
Bean Brownies = win. So good.
