Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Wash and dry the outside of the banana peel to remove any dirt.
Lay the bananas onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until the bananas are fully blackened.
Remove from the oven and let fully cool to room temperature before using.
Notes
- the bananas will split during the baking time and some of the sugars will leak out on to the pan. Use parchment paper to line the pan before baking the bananas for easy clean up! - ripened bananas can be used to make recipes like these peanut butter banana chocolate chip cookies or these banana oat blender muffins.
