Don’t Throw Away Overripe Bananas! Make Natural Banana Candy! Only 4 Ingredients

Ingredients

• 3–4 overripe bananas (the sweeter, the better)
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1 tsp lemon juice (prevents browning)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (or vanilla extract, optional for flavor)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) or set your dehydrator if you have one.
2. Peel the bananas and mash them into a smooth purée. Mix in lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon.
3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the banana mixture thinly and evenly across the sheet.
4. Bake slowly for 2–3 hours, until the banana sheet becomes dry but still flexible (like fruit leather).
5. Let it cool slightly, then cut into strips or small squares. Roll them up or leave flat.
6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

✨ Sweet, chewy, and naturally made—perfect for snacks without waste!

Would you like me to also give you a no-bake version (sun-dried banana candy) that doesn’t need an oven?
