Tips
- Little chefs can mash the bananas and measure out the ingredients.
- Once cooked, sprinkle a handful of unsalted slivered almonds or pecans on top for an extra crunch!
- Want more flavour? Add 5 mL (1 tsp) of nutmeg powder at step 3. You can also add a dollop of lower fat plain Greek yogurt on top of your piece when ready to serve.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Heat for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave before serving.
