Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Bake banana(s) for 30 to 40 minutes, until blackened and soft to the touch.

Step 3

Cool on the baking sheet until cool enough to handle. Peel and transfer banana to a bowl and mash so that it cools more quickly. Cool completely before using in recipes.
