I doubled the recipe without using the online calculator. I found my peanut butter was making my batter too creamy that I ended putting in about another 1/4c. of flour to thicken it up. The true test is when my other half eats 1/2 dozen in a matter of minutes (:<br/>My doubled batch made 5 dozen. It's a definite make again. I may put just a little less sugar than the double calls for since the PB & bananas add their own sugar as well.<br/>Make sure you have a nice big glass of milk to go with it when eating.
