Alternative to bananas? HELP!
Options
Almost every healthy-twist on almost every recipe that I look up has banana in it.
That's great for pretty much everyone, but me.
I'm allergic to bananas and I want to make these things! I know that pumpkin puree (not pie filling) can be used as a substitute, but HOW MUCH DO I USE?
Has anyone ever used this substitute before? What's the conversion rate?
A BIG THANK YOU AND A HUG to everyone who can provide any help/insight on this.

Bump, because I make a cold-brew coffee protein smoothie that I add half a frozen banana too which adds carbs, which I am trying to lower my intake of! I'd love to get an answer on this as well0

I use a half cup of canned pumpkin per banana called for in the recipe.
I also use applesauce!0 -

I'm sorry, but it'll never work between us. I need to see other banana-tolerant people.0

I have a similar problem - I feel really ill shortly after I eat a banana. But I read somewhere that there is some change after banana is cooked. Gave it a try about a month ago making pancakes with a chopped banana through the batter. No detrimental effects and have been eating a few times a week since. May be worth trying a small quantity cooked?0

My tongue swells and throat closes. If I pick up an UNpeeled banana, my hand swells. It's a non-negotiable allergy for me, unfortunately.0

Just think about how much replacement food you've been saved from though!! Ok, now if you were allergic to cauliflower, THAT would be something.0 -
I just hate bananas. The taste, blech. Woo for the anti-banana movement!0

The pureed pumpkin and applesauce sound like good alternatives.0 -
