Notes
No brown bananas. Use firm bananas that are not quite ripe (no brown spots at all), or they’ll turn to mush.
Skip the pineapple. If you hate pineapple, just leave it out for a more traditional bananas foster taste.
Swap the nuts. Feel free to change out the walnuts with pecans or macadamia nuts.
Omit the rum. The alcohol cooks off and lends more flavor to the dessert, but you can simply omit it, if preferred.
