Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed very smooth
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Cream Filling
  • 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
  • Make the Banana Sponge
  • In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer):
  • Beat egg yolks with ½ cup sugar on medium-low speed until pale and thick, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Mix in mashed bananas and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl:
  • Beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add remaining ½ cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • In another bowl:
  • Whisk together flour and baking powder.
  • Gently fold flour mixture into banana mixture until just combined.
  • Fold in whipped egg whites in 2–3 additions, mixing gently to keep batter light and airy.
  • The batter should be fluffy but spreadable.
  • Bake
  • Divide batter in half and evenly spread across each pan.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes, untill light golden and Springs back when touched
  • Do not overbake — you want the sponge soft and flexible.
  • Shape the Flips
  • Let cool 10–15 minutes.
  • Invert onto a cooling rack and peel off parchment.
  • Use a 2½–3 inch round cookie cutter to cut circles.
  • While still slightly warm, gently fold each circle in half (like a soft taco).
  • Place folded side down on a baking sheet.
  • Chill 20–30 minutes to help set the shape (optional but helpful).
  • Make the Cream Filling
  • Beat butter until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
  • Beat until smooth and fluffy, 1–2 more minutes.
  • If too thick → add 1 teaspoon milk at a time.
  • If too thin → add a little powdered sugar.
  • Fill & Decorate
  • Pipe or spoon filling inside each flip.
  • Gently press sides so cream rises slightly above the edge.
  • Top with sprinkles.
