My boys adore bananas and since Matthew is now on an even more restricted diet I’m always searching for delicious treats that aren’t terrible for you. Enter the meringue. Meringues are naturally gluten free and dairy free. They are fairly low in sugar and are very simple to make, yet they turn out an extremely elegant finished product. So the Snow Capped Banana was born (AKA Banana Meringues)

This is an obvious error in the recipe. It should say 4 egg WHITES, not yolks. Meringues are made with egg whites only.
thank you. I will fix it right away.
