This sounds delicious! I’m wondering-If I were to prepare a few bananas and have this on hand-what would be the best way to store it? In a jar on the counter? Or keep it in the fridge?
Best to store in a covered container in the fridge!
Perfect amount of sweetness. No honey needed. Awesome recipe!
I am about to try this now. I am hoping it doesn’t stick to the parchment paper after cooking since no spray was required first. Guess we shall see!
So it did not stick and slid off easily. I put just a little brown sugar and cinnamon and it’s delicious! 😋
YEAH!!!
