    ADVANCE PREPARATION

11. 11

    The bananas are best served just after they are made.

12. 12

    They will lose their crispy caramelized texture as they sit but will still retain their flavor so long as they are not refrigerated.

13. 13

    If you must make them in advance, the bananas can be held in a warm oven for a few hours.
