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

Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (to preserve color and add a touch of brightness)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) or use a dehydrator if available.
  2. Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth. Add lemon juice, honey (if using), and cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1/8-inch thick.
  4. Bake for 2–3 hours, or until the mixture is dry and leathery but still pliable.
  5. Cool completely, then cut into strips or shapes.
  6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
