Confession: I only really like greenish bananas. I like for them to be a little bit sour. Once they turn yellow and sweet, I am no longer interested. In my opinion, there is only one thing to do with ripe bananas. Bake. I saved this recipe a while ago and figured that it was time to give it a whirl.
The first thing you need to do is roast the pecans, which is actually very easy to do. If you have never tried it before, these directions are very easy to follow. I am going to be honest right now and say that this is not the easiest recipe I have ever made, but all of the steps are worth it in the end. Plus, this recipe is from Cooking Light, so it is kinda-sorta healthy-ish.
This is the before and after for roasting the bananas.
And the before and after for baking.
Since the frosting recipe calls for low-fat (and low-taste) cream cheese, the butter is so important, because it adds a much fuller flavor. I want to put this on absolutely everything (and you will too). Enjoy, and let me know if you make this. I want to hear how it comes out.
