Banana BasicsLook for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

Excellent recipe. Very easy. We drizzle with carmel sauce instead of maple syrup.

I made this over the weekend. I used 1 C egg substitute instead of eggs and honey instead of maple syrup then added maple extract and some vanilla. It took about 1/2 hour longer to bake but it was DELICIOUS!! My whole family loved it! I will definitely make it again maybe with different fruit inside!! Great, easy recipe!
