    Have unripened bananas? No worries!

    Brown bananas are best for baking because they offer natural sweetness, unlike very yellow or green bananas. You can still make this recipe with unripe bananas! I’ll teach you how:

    To quickly ripen a banana, simply stick it in the oven at 350 F for 2 – 3 minutes! Then, remove the peel and place the banana on a lined baking sheet, and put it back into the oven for another 2 – 3 minutes until it is soft, gooey, and looks like a mashed banana.
