Notes
For softer texture, use very ripe bananas and avoid overbaking. For crispier edges, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze wrapped slices up to two months. Chill before slicing for cleaner pieces. Add chocolate chips, cinnamon, or pecans for flavor changes. Store covered two days room temperature or five days chilled.
