I’ll admit when I saw Banana Bread Cobbler, I paused. And had to make it. It was so different sounding. So that Alistaire could enjoy it with us, I swapped in LouAna Coconut Oil for the butter called, used unsweetened coconut milk beverage instead of dairy milk, but most of all, swapped roasted sunflower seeds for the pecans. Yes, it would have been better I am sure with pecans! I truly hope that someday he can enjoy a pecan!
