FAQ

  • Can I use frozen banana?

    While you can use a frozen banana, it will take longer to microwave and the texture might be a bit mushy. It's best to use a ripe banana at room temperature.
  • Can I add other toppings?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other toppings like caramel sauce, shredded coconut, or a dollop of whipped cream (although that might push it over the 10-minute mark!).
  • How do I prevent the banana from exploding in the microwave?

    Ensure the banana is not completely enclosed. The steam needs to escape. Also, don't overcook it. 1-2 minutes is usually sufficient.
