I automatically see a race when recipe instructions start with "preheat your oven." There is nothing more satisfying than whipping together all your ingredients and putting them into a baking dish BEFORE the oven beeps to tell you it is hot enough. This recipe is so quick and easy, the oven doesn't stand a chance.
I only ever seem to have two sad bananas laying around. Since there is not much you can make with two, I needed a solution other than tossing them or filling up my freezer up with random ziplock bags of bananas. This recipe solved my problem. As an added bonus, just one bowl and a few kitchen utensils are needed (read: easy cleanup).
