Ingredients

• 4 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup erythritol
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin rounds.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the sliced bananas, erythritol, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix the ingredients.

Step 3

Place the saucepan on medium heat and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the bananas begin to break down and release their juices, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Continue to cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like.

Step 5

Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 6

Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated, giving the bananada a rich chocolatey flavor.

Step 7

Add the butter and stir until completely melted and mixed into the bananada.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into a greased, shallow dish or mold and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.

Step 10

Cut into small squares or bars before serving. Enjoy your guilt-free, low-carb bananada!
