## Plot

Butterbean and Cricket were heading for the café when the latter's stomach keeps growling and tells it to her big sister. She assured her they are almost at their destination and that she can eat something there. Cricket thought of bananas as she is "*bananas*" for bananas, making both sisters giggle. Butterbean made Cricket race her to the café. Inside the café, Dazzle was serving a customer with a smoothie and Poppy brought out a batch of fresh banana mini-muffins which she put on the counter. Jasper was carrying a box of ingredients into the kitchen when the muffins' scent caught his nose and commented on them which she appreciated. The sisters came in and greeted the bean team with Cricket sitting at the counter and smelling the muffins. She told Poppy she thinks she could read her mind as she was thinking about bananas and she baking banana mini muffins. Poppy told her there was a banana left over in the kitchen if she wanted it and she agreed, doing the monkey imitation before heading in to kitchen. Poppy left one muffin behind as a "mid-morning snack" and she asked Dazzle for party sprinkles as she headed to the kitchen. Dazzle took it out of a drawer and head for the kitchen as well but collided with Jasper as he was coming from the opposite direction. Catching the flying sprinkles pot, he apologized to her, but she didn't mind, citing that she was about to give them to Poppy. Poppy asked if she has found it and Jasper give it to her which she appreciated. Butterbean asked Poppy how Hamilton's birthday cake is coming along; the latter replied that it was okay but Ms. Von Vole was coming to pick it up and it wasn't quite ready yet and had to go. Cricket did the monkey dance; Mr. Denboro came in with Dottie. Butterbean greeted them and asked them what thay wanted; Mr. Denboro replied that Dottie was going to have a field trip to the zoo with Ms. Learnerbrook's class and she wanted to surprise them with a zoo-themed treat. Dottie herself mentioned she was going to see some monkeys and did a monkey imitation which was replicated by Cricket as she proclaimed she likes monkeys. Both Cricket and Dottie trivialized each other about monkeys and did the monkey imitation with running around in circles before laughing it out. Cricket asked Dazzle if they had a monkey-shaped cookie cutter and the latter affirmed with her big sister adding they could make monkey cookies. Mr. Denboro agreed with Butterbean connecting her bean screen to the beanitor and showing him how they would do them. The little girls showed their appreciation to the snack along with Mr. Denboro and doing monkey imitation to invoke giggle out of Butterbean and Mr. Denboro. The latter told her they'll return after school to pick them up. Dottie waved bye and imitate a monkey with Cricket doing likewise but extending hers to make her big sister laugh. She had enough of it and exclaimed to her it was enough "*monkey business*" and that they should get to work on the cookies. She ate her banana and went to the kitchen to tell her big sister she is done eating her banana. Butterbean replied that she can toss it into the compost bin along with the other food scrubs and asked Jasper to take the compost to the farm later, which he agreed.
Cricket ate her banana came to the kitchen to tell Butterbean she's done eating it. She told her little sister to dump it in the compost bin with the other food scrubs. The latter told Jasper to recycle its contents. Cricket asked her big sister for the definition of compost, which she did reply, before throwing the banana covering on the bin lid which slid down to the floor. They then made the monkey cookies accompanied with *Let's Get Cooking!*. Butterbean told the viewer(s) she needed to help Poppy with the party cake, whiles the cookies were cooling.

Poppy brought the cake and added sprinkles to them. Butterbean told Cricket to cover the cake after she's done adding the fairy finish with party bean. Butterbean imbalanced herself due to her slipping off a step on the banana peel Jasper acceidentally threw with the bin as he was raising it to send outside during the preparation of the cookies and Poppy rebalanced her. Butterbean was grateful to her and Cricket apologized, which Butterbean didn't mind. Poppy asked her if she's done with the finish, which she said she didn't before doing it. Cricket covered the cake and giggled. Ms. Von Vole came in to Poppy's relief as it was just in time. Butterbean told her to take a break that they'll take over. A small glance at the cookies saw the spillage of the bean magic on the monkey cookies which began dancing around and scatter across the kitchen.
