Honey Banana Thing + Chocolate Bar Attempt


I had some ripe bananas i needed to do something with or else they just would of been thrown away. I asked in a facebook group i am in for recipes (link) for ideas of what to make with them. There was some good ideas, but i ended up just going with experimenting with my own version of the honey fried bananas.

I used coconut oil for the first cooking the bananas, ended up using too much so i thought i'd sorta try the chocolate bar thing i've seen before. But first still with the bananas, after i took the bananas out of the oil and got a good amount of the oil off of them, i put the bananas back into the pan. I added some honey, some brown sugar, and a little bit of cinnamon, i just eyeballed the amounts. Mixed them together while cooking a little longer. It doesn't look the best, looked kinda gross once in the bowl, but was really tasty and  it would be good for like pancakes or something as topping.

Now with all the oil that was left, i thought i'd try the chocolate bar thing i saw before, though doing it completely different and on my own because it already was different from having the oil used for the bananas.

It seems to be alright from the first look of it. Not sure if it's the cocoa powder i have or if all of the powders have a bitter bite to them. Anyways, i put it in the freezer to try and harden up and see what happens for it. It's sorta bar like, though because of the banana, i think, it's a little softer than i think it would be as it warms up. I wasn't really expecting much of this because it's just me playing around with stuff mostly. i will still be trying the chocolate bar recipe i have saved. This chocolate though does have a slight banana taste to it.
Here's how it looked out of the freezer.
