Banana puree with honey and hot water is a simple warm mash made with three ingredients in about five minutes. Ripe bananas are mashed with a fork, mixed with hot water, and sweetened with honey or sugar. After mixing thoroughly, let the mixture stand for half an hour, then transfer it to a container with a lid. Simply reheat before serving, and make a fresh batch each day. Do not give honey to children younger than 12 months; use sugar instead or leave the puree unsweetened.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Mash the bananas with a fork, pour in the hot water, and add the honey or sugar. Mix thoroughly, let stand for 30 minutes, then transfer the mixture to a container with a lid.
  2. Serving

    Reheat each portion before serving. Make a fresh batch each day. Caution: Do not give honey to children younger than 12 months.

Tip: Overripe bananas with brown spots work best: they mash smoothly and are sweeter, so you need less honey or sugar. For a smoother puree, use an immersion blender.
