Occasionally though, my bananas get a little brown. Most people see brown bananas and think: banana bread. While I’m all for a good banana bread, sometimes I want a banana dessert that’s a little bit different. Banana cakes, banana bars, banana cookies…all totally underrated, but definitely delicious. Bananas are a natural sweetener and pair wonderfully with so many flavors (chocolate, peanut butter, Nutella). The texture and the moisture in bananas means they always help keep dishes tender and never dry.
