22 Delicious Banana Dessert Recipes

Bananas are delicious when baked, and even more tantalising when baked with nuts, berries, chocolate, coffee or even coconut

October 6, 2020
Bananas are delicious when baked, and tantalising when baked with nuts, berries, chocolate, coffee and even coconut. Ahead, banana dessert recipes to love!

That are many ways to enjoy bananas. For instance, aside from eating bananas alone, the next best way to consume bananas is to get them baked and transformed into delightful banana desserts. (Or fry them up into goreng pisang and pair this fried banana dessert with ice cream!)

Why? The thing is when bananas are cooked, a certain natural sweetness of the fruit emerges. The banana turns the fruit into gooey texture – almost like caramel. Baked bananas taste so rich and fulfilling.

However, baked bananas can be too heavy for your tastebuds when eaten alone. The next best way is to bake it as banana cake, bread or pudding. (And eat it with ice cream!) The banana dessert recipes are limitless!

Need gluten-free or diabetic options? Love nuts, berries, coffee or chocolate?

Here are 22 banana dessert recipes for your baking delight. (Trivia: The first published banana bread recipe appeared in 1933, in Balanced Cookbook by Mary Ellis Ames.)
