Healthy Cake Batter Milkshake

frozen, large banana, as ripe as possible

pure vanilla extract

 tbsp melted coconut butter (you might be able to sub unrefined, melted coconut oil but it won’t be as buttery)

to 2/3 cup milk of choice (For an extremely rich, ice-cream-like shake, try full-fat canned coconut milk. Use more or less milk, depending on desired thickness.)

If you prefer smoothies in a bowl, reduce milk or add a pinch of xantham and guar gums, just like with the Mint-Chocolate Chip Milkshake.

Optional: 2-3 tsp butter-type spread (such as Earth Balance), melted, for a more cake-like flavor. (Or you can either add 1 tbsp macadamia or cashew butter, or very scant 1/8 tsp butter extract, which is oddly vegan. I emailed Wilton.)

Optional: handfuls of sprinkles
