Are you ready for some baking? With all that is happening around us, and we all are homebound with our families, it can be a bit of added stress to come up with meals with what is in our pantry.
Added to the concern of having enough fresh vegetables or fruits that will not go to waste.
This upside-down banana recipe was created because our bananas were getting mature faster than we could eat them.
With a few handy ingredients, a delicious dessert is served and a smile is on everyone’s face.
Nothing like a tasty homemade dessert, right?
Growing up, my grandmother instilled in me that food should not go to waste. We all can create miracles in the kitchen with very few ingredients.
TIP: Make sure that your cake pan is nicely buttered, thus making it easier to flip the cake over.
