Oh, my friends, let me tell you a story. It started with a craving. A deep, soulful craving for something sweet, yet comforting. Nothing too fussy; just pure, simple deliciousness. And that’s how I stumbled upon this recipe. It's my go-to when I need a little something to lift my spirits, a little treat that's both healthy and indulgent.
It all began with some ripe bananas – those perfectly speckled, almost bruised beauties that hint at pure sweetness. We all know how it goes—sometimes, you’re left with a bunch of overripe bananas threatening to become a sticky disaster. Instead of tossing them out, I decided to find a better use for them. The result? Pure baking magic! That's the thing about recipes, sometimes your best creations come from simple circumstances.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial for even baking!
- Grab your bananas! I usually use about 4-6, depending on their size and my appetite... which is often substantial. Peel them completely.
- Slice those bananas. About 1/2-inch thick slices work best; however, I've been known to go rogue and do whatever strikes my fancy.
- Grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Trust me on this one, I've learned from many sticky mishaps.
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each slice. This ensures they bake evenly and don't steam into a mushy mess.
- Drizzle that honey! I liberally drizzle about 2-4 tablespoons of honey over the bananas. It's totally up to your personal preference for sweetness.
- Pop them in the oven! Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them; ovens vary wildly.
- Take them out and let them cool slightly. This will help them firm up a bit before serving. But let's be honest, who can wait?
- Serve and enjoy! These are amazing warm, but they're also pretty good at room temperature. You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent treat. (Just don't tell my doctor).
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top before baking.
- If your bananas are not very ripe, you might need to add a few more minutes of baking time.
