Notes
Helpful Tips
- Don't use completely green bananas. They won’t have developed enough sugars and flavor be useful in baked goods, even after baking. I recommend using slightly green, bright yellow bananas for this to work best.
- Use parchment paper or tin foil. The bananas will often split and begin to leak, and the sugars in the juice can burn on your tray.
- Squeeze bananas into the bowl. For a mess free option, hold the stem end after taking out of the oven and snip off the other end and squeeze the banana into your bowl.
