That looks so delicious I could almost smell it coming out of the oven. Now that our bananas are coming back down to a reasonable price (this year they have almost cost the same as gold due to a cyclone nearly wiping out the entire Australian crop), I will try your recipe

I always save my blackened, over-ripe bananas thinking I'm going to use them to make some banana bread. The black ones are the best for that!! But, I never do…. 🙁 Honestly…I don't know why I even buy bananas. haha!
