Bananas are a versatile fruit for desserts, even when overripe. Bananas and chocolate make a great combination, and baked bananas with various toppings are also delicious. Banana bread is a classic way to use overripe bananas.
Bananas are a great fruit to use in desserts. They are available all year round in most sectors and are usually quite cheap. Even bananas that have become so ripe that they are covered in dark spots and too soft to eat can still be used in baked goods as long as they aren’t moldy. However, some banana desserts, such as banana cream pies, call for freshly ripe fruit.
Bananas and chocolate are a favorite combination of many people, and even something as simple as placing slices of banana on top of bowls of chocolate pudding makes for a tasty and eye-catching dessert. You can also make a quick and excellent dessert with just a chocolate-banana syrup. All you have to do is peel a fairly firm banana and cut it lengthwise. Next, place it in a single baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for about ten minutes or just until heated through. After cooking, drizzle with a few teaspoons of chocolate syrup.
If you are preparing the dessert for several people, you can also prepare some baked bananas in a pie plate. Bananas can be cooked with dots of butter and a dusting of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Some people like to add oat blends and sweetener on top. You can also use shredded coconut or you may want to add some lemon juice and/or cinnamon.
Bananas can be cooked in a regular oven or microwave oven. You can serve baked bananas with yogurt or ice cream. Toasted nuts such as pecan halves or ground almonds also complement a baked banana dessert nicely. Toast the nuts in a thin layer on a baking sheet set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for five minutes or less. They should be golden rather than brown because you don’t want to burn them.
Banana bread, or banana cake, is a classic and delicious way to consume overripe bananas. These breads or cakes have many variations, but are usually baked in a pan. Nuts are often added to bread or banana cakes.
