In the famous words of Gwen Stefani, this recipe is “Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!”
Depending on the amount of people living in your house, and the rate at which they devour the contents of your fruit bowl, you can often be left with a handful of over-ripe produce before you have had the chance to enjoy it. Luckily, bananas turn into a bakers dream once their skin begins to brown!
