Helpful Tips

  • For best results, use ripe bananas for a sweet flavor but very firm so they’ll hold shape during cooking.
  • Do not overstuff the bananas lest they split open!
  • Make sure to use enough oil so the top of the bananas will cook and brown without having to flip.
  • For a quick change of flavor, sprinkle the top with shredded quick-melt change instead of the batter. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a 375 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the fruit is tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
