I'm really sorry I couldn't rate this recipe higher. The taste of the bananas were good but the texture was slimy in the middle. I ate one & couldn't finish the rest. I did use the sugar & cinnamon mixture but I sprinkled it on the bananas before rolling them in corn flakes. Made for ZWT 7

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
