Mary-ified Banana Butterscotch Sticky Buns
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/9oQ9kzuH4VI I remember this recipe fondly from my childhood. Warn, pecan-filled banana sticky buns were the BEST. The original recipe was actually in the OG Bisquick Cookbook (do you remember when companies made their own cookbooks - the Robin Hood Flour one was great too!), and it called for just Bisquick and banana to make the dough. How easy is that? But, here we’ve gluten-free-dairy-free-ified it. And is actually vegan too (depending

As one bigger crisp: This makes enough for a 8x8 baking dish, and is great for sharing. For that, we like to bake it in a square 8x8 pyrex baking dish. 2. On

It's also great for when all your avocados and bananas go ripe at the same time, and you don't know what to do with th
