Can I Make Caramelized Bananas Ahead of Time?

Honestly, they’re best fresh, but you can make them a few hours in advance. Just reheat them gently in a pan or microwave before serving.

Can I Use a Sugar Substitute?

Yep! Maple syrup or honey works well as a natural substitute. Keep in mind, the texture might be slightly different.

Are Caramelized Bananas Gluten-Free?

Absolutely. All the ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Just double-check any extras you add, like flavored extracts or toppings.

What Can I Do with Leftovers?

If you somehow have leftovers (I’m impressed), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re great for smoothies or as a topping for baked goods.
