What You Need To Make This Recipe

  • Fresh Bananas – ripe bananas that are not too brown or soft.
  • Brown Sugar – for deep sweetness.
  • Cinnamon – you could leave it out, but I love the extra depth of flavor it gives.
  • Sea Salt – I use pink Himalayan, but any good course salt gives another layer of flavor.
