Pina Colada & Red Velvet dehydrated Bananas

Sometimes it’s fun, doing new things like this recipe. Wow, were these enjoyed. My dehydrator has been my funniest kitchen tool yet.
What do we got here?
About 2 banana in each container. Bananas cut in half then those pieces thinly sliced.
Placed 2 whole sliced bananas in each container. One we pour over a Pina Colada Mix and the Other a Red Velvet Syrup. Soak for atleast 3-6hours.
I used Dehydrating sheets as syrups were a tad sticky. When removing bananas from container try and remove as much excess syrup as possible.


Just like everything we Dehydrate they didnt last long!
