These are also nummy on a bed of sliced apples or strawberries or cherries… heck, make a nice fruit salad to use instead of the bananas!
Looking for Low-FODMAP Recipes?
The low-FODMAP diet is often prescribed for people with IBS or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), and there’s a huge overlap of that demographic with people with autoimmune disease. My e-book 28 Days of Low-FODMAP AIP combines both IBS- and autoimmune-friendly diets in a 28-day meal plan designed to jump start and simplify this often-challenging diet change. Just you wait: The meal plan includes 50 exclusive low-FODMAP recipes you won’t find on my website or anywhere else, with dishes like Chicken Vindalo, Jambalaya, and crispy, crunchy Tostones. You’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you! The ebook is available as a digital download for $9.99.

This might be obvious to anyone else, but 2 questions. The recipe says whole bananas sliced in half. I assume in half lengthwise, so ending up with 2 long pieces. The picture seems to show 4, rather than 2 bananas? Another question – do you slice them all the way through? Wouldn’t all the toppings fall through? Or do you slice the bananas part-way down, like a hot dog bun and THAT is where the toppings go?
Yes, two long pieces per serving. The picture shows two servings. It’s hard to slice the bananas only partway because they’re so thin. Baking them on a bed of foil you can then wrap up helps keep the toppings in.
