I’ve mentioned that I love Tootsie Pops
I bought a new bag yesterday and found one lone banana-flavored Tootsie Pop
Banana-flavored anything tastes nothing like real bananas
I don’t know how they think this tastes like this a banana.
It doesn’t.
But that’s ok.
Most foods with banana flavoring have a really unique taste and you either love it or hate it
Banana Laffy Taffy anyone?
I’ve mentioned that I actually don’t really like bananas by themselves but that in things, they are magical.
I have a Banana Recipes post where I highlight my recipes that use bananas in them:
Microwave Banana Blueberry Oat Cakes (vegan, GF, single serving)
Peanut Butter Banana Bread (vegan, GF)
and
No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Protein Bars
And more.
Also, if you have any ripe bananas that you need to use up, asap, check it out
Questions:
1. What’s your take on banana-flavored foods?
Sometimes I am down for the fake banana flavored stuff. The banana Tootsie pop was good but I think I’m good for a long time with banana flavoring.
Wait. Until Halloween and the fun-sized Laffy Taffy’s are out! Which is soon.
2. Do you like bananas? Fave way to eat them?
As I said above, I actually don’t really like bananas by themselves but that in things, they are great.
In vegan and/or gluten free baking, bananas are superstars. They really help replace eggs (moisture + help things bind) and replace gluten (help things bind and stick together) in one fell swoop.
They’re also superstars with frozen (vegan & GF) treats & smoothies, too.
Vanilla Banana Avocado “Ice Cream” anyone?
It’s was 93F here in San Diego today! A scorcher again!

I. Love. Bananas. Right now my favorite way to eat them is in banana soft serve! I can’t remember the last time I had something banana flavored, so I’m not sure what my take is. That banana bread looks amazing! I need to get on that.
I love banana popsicles!! And I am the same as you..I won’t eat a whole banana, but love them baked in things!
I don’t like banana flavored foods. I love banana bread, but that’s real banana. I don’t even like smoothies with banana in them. They over power the other flavors.
I just finished a bowl of blenderized frozen-banana “ice cream” with cocoa nibs on top.
Can’t stand fake banana flavor, bleccch!
Ugh– I HATE banana-flavored things!! So funny, because I love bananas…but I guess you’re right, the banana “flavor” usually tastes nothing like bananas!
I try to eat a banana every day, whether alone on in my breakfast smoothie. I’m a such a fan that, in addition to our wedding cake, we had bananas foster prepared and served to every guest at our wedding reception! It was yummy! Good memories :)
oh i LOVE bananas foster. could drink just the sauce :)

I love banana bread, and bananas by themselves. I might have to try a banana ice cream. Fake flavor is okay, but it definitely doesn’t even remotely taste like actual banana
Tootsie Pops…. you just reminded me that I might resurrect my Tootsie Roll costume again this year :D
pictures please!!!
Banana flavored??? This is wonderful news. I will definitely keep an eye out for these.
they’ve been around for AGES…like since my childhood, the banana flavored tootsie pops but they are VERY limited edition. Like years can go by and I’ll never even see one. Kind of like pumpkin spiced lattes…very limited edition :)
definitely not a fan of banana flavored things…I like bananas but I find that I have to be in a mood to eat them…it’s not a fruit that is a go-to for me. I do, however, use them like crazy in my smoothies!
blessings,
I used to hate bananas now I crave them. But banana flavored things never seem to taste right. So real banana whole or in baking and that’s it.
I am the exact opposite of you! I love eating just ripe bananas by themselves or with a bit of nut butter, but I cannot stand anything That is banana flavored! I don’t Even like banana in Smoothies.
Banana flavored tootsie roll pop? Odd. Banana laffy taffy? Yummy. But I generally hate fake banana flavor too.
this is HILARIOUS!! I have always wondered WHERE that banana flavor comes from!? no banana I’ve ever eaten. ;)
