Here's a link to a recipe, and here's a link to a poem(?!).

I've never heard of them. Good luck.

There is also a recipe at Allrecipes.com, its about the same as above.

Here is a link that might be useful: banana flips

This thread got me searching and I found a recipe for a Banana Cream Crock Pot Upside Down cake. It called for Banana Cream Cook & Serve pudding. I went to Giant Eagle, Shop&Save and WalMart and none of them had it. Well,the cake is in the crockpot now with Coconut Cream Cook&Serve pudding.

The link for the recipe and the crock pot cake sound wonderful! Many thanks. When my company leaves on Sunday, I plan to make my own banana flips..let me re-phrase that...I will TRY! Will let you know how it turns out! BTW, I'd love that crock pot recipe and hope you'll share it.

Donna - Banana Flips are made by Dolly Madison. You can contact them here.

Donna,
The recipe can be found at recipes4cakes.com
Type Banana Cream Crock Pot Upside Down Cake into the search box.

Thanks for the info. I see Dolly Madison products in every grocery and convenience store, but NOT the banana flips...bummer!

Donna

The poem was a hoot..I loved it! Thanks again for the recipes. Looks like the only way we're ever gonna have one, is to make our own! This may be the only food product in history where the store bought is probably better than homemade! LOL!

I TOO HAVE MISSED THE BANANA FLIP AND DECIDED TO LOOK FOR THEM.I FOUND THEM IN A SMALL STORE WHERE I LIVE IN MCKEESPORT PENNSYLVANIA.BUT THE RECIPES FOR THEM IS JUST AS GOOD AS THE SNACK CAKE.Nickels Backery sales the banana flips cooks.com has the recipes its great!!!!!!!

Yes, we have the original Nicles Bakery banana flips here in Pittsburgh. If you really want some, I can pick them up and mail to you for what they cost me, plus the shipping cost.

I grew up with these snack cakes and it's true that you can find them in various parts of Pennsylvania from time-to-time, but it seems rare. I've been looking for a recipe as well given I grew up always wanting a banana cake on my birthday until I was introduced to these flips.

As for the recipes so far, the filling is definitely not a pudding...it's more like a banana flavored marshmallow fluff filling.

I found them at The Vermount Country store .com
2 packages of 2 (large) for $19.95 plus $3.00 shipping.
their phone number is 1-802-776-5730

donnalovesblue I found a web site where you can order banana flips. It is:
sunrisegourmet.com/banana-flips.html and they have a number to call too:
1-800-782-6736

Timing is everything, unfortunately mine is bad. I actually tripped across them at Vermont Country Store as the previous post said. But I waited too long and by the time I decided to order some they were sold out. I called to inquire and they said if enough people requested them they would put them in their next catalog. SO CALL and request. They were made to order and looked positively devine!

Did you ever find those banana flips? If not, I actually make them myself.

The link to the poem that momj47 provided also had where Nickles shops can be found - in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
I wonder why their customer service people were against ordering online?

I know this is an old post, but if any are still interested, I loved those things too. I moved to Alabama in 1981 and they don't have them here. Todd Wilber has a how to make your own recipe today at
( http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/home.php ) for Twinkies.
How hard would it be to make your own Banana Flips out of homemade Twinkies. Isn't the cake part basically the same? Here is a Youtube video of him making Twinkie clones
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yeyy4mQoes ).
Just fill them with banana cream instead. If you want the taco look, bake them in a pancake shape, fold and fill. Here are other Youtube videos of Todd at work - Just copy and paste the links into your browser to view the pages.

Hi Donna. Me too!! I miss them too. I did an Internet search to see if I could find some. I was sorry to hear that you can't even order them online. I hope some company starts making them again.

I too loved these as a kid...........just found them again here in my area.............they sell out quickly................My husband and I went to purchase some the other day after I bought two for the first time since I was younger............They only had one left.............ha! Are you serious...........well I plan to go back this week when they get some more in.............Where are you located?

I closed my bakery this past Thanksgiving, but I still make the banana flips for people. If you'd like, I will make you some. I'm not sure how well they ship, as I live in north Ga. I make them like the old ones, @ 5-6 inches long, and also @ 4". Let me know.

I shared that I found them here..............wanted to know where you are located............

Guess what?? Wonder of wonders--I was doing a little shopping this morning and picked up a new product in the bakery section at Walmart--Banana Twinkies--and they taste almost exactly like Banana Flips-even the cream filling------so find a box of these and enjoy (if you can get over the lack of the correct shape--LOL) Banana Twinkies

HOSTESS BANANA TWINKIES ARE THE SAME CAKE AND BANANA FILLING AS THE ORIGINAL BANANA FLIPS.

The Hostess Twinkie banana cake is a fair substitute, but is not the same as the original banana flip.. There is how ever different companies who made them ..They were both good but one had a better filling more grainy & sweet.. still searching where to purchase on line since they can't be found in my area of Alabama..

The Little Debbies Banana Twins taste just like the original banana flips...I too use to buy them all the time especially at convenient stores. I don't see them anymore either!

I have been looking for banana flips for a long time! Its a no go in Central Texas

Anyone find them available to order online??

I'm still looking - there is no equal substitute in Twinkies or any other snack cake.

I wish I had

Can I still buy banana flip cakes anywhere?

Does anybody know if u can order the Nickles banana flip cakes if so where would I order them from

Oh god I'm with ya...let me know what u

My brother as a kid loved those cakes. I haven't seen them in years. But I really don't buy sweets.

I liked them before the banana flavoring they tasted like twinkled I remember when they started putting the banana flavoring in them Ii learned to like them but not as good

Can you get me some banana flips

Omg I was just thinking about those. They use to give them to us when I was in elementary School with a banana. So good.

Since Hostess bought out Dolly Madison products in 2012, they would be the ones to bring them back. Feel free to write to them and request they bring back Banana Flips! consumeraffairs@hostessbrandsllc.com

I dont think tou can buy them anywhere . I loved them thing.

Banana Flips were not made by Hostess or Dolly Madison. They were made by Nickles Bakery. Hostess and Dolly Madison had similar products but the ”Banana Flip” was made by Nickles. Sunrise Bakery produces them now. https://www.sunrisebakery.com/product/banana-flip/

I should also mention - the sunrisebakery version of them is not exactly like the original. It's tasty but the cake is more like angelfood cake and the filling is softer. If you really want something close to the original ones you'll probably have to make them yourself.

I would love to eat them again they tasted so good. Does anyone know where I can get some???

Little debbie has banana twins next best thing
