Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle coarse sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
  • Use overripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Fold in mini marshmallows before baking for a gooey surprise in every slice.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
