Many of their menu items are naturally gluten-free, but if you’re willing to go forth with gluten, then there’s nothing more delicious than peanut butter and banana — except maybe peanut butter and banana and chocolate and graham crackers. You’ll find this flavor combo in the Peanut Butter Pie Banana."
