Notes
- You will need 2 to 3 ripe bananas, depending on their size.
- Store leftover cooled bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Freeze the cooled bars in a freezer container, in a single layer, for up to 3 months. If you have to stack them, put parchment paper in between the layers so they don't stick together. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
