Looking for a good substitute for the store bought dried bananna chips. I believe the ingredients include but not exclusive to: sugar, coconut oil, salt.

I have attempted unsuccessfully to make them buy adding some raw coconut oil and salt to the sliced banannas along with some sort of raw sweetner. They weren't the same. So, any ideas?

This past fall, i was HOOKED on unsweetened banana chips.....I finally got away from them......for now....lol

We have tried to make them by dehydration but it doesnt seem to work.

I figure they must be either fried or dehydrated at extremely high temps.

That's r ight. I forgot to mention they are fried. Maybe that's why there are no recipies for them.

Interesting. I've made them quite successfully in the dehydrator. Didn't do anything special, just slice and dried.

You might consider making fruit leathers. Not quite the same of course yet, quite good for day or long-distance travel.

The fried ones in the stores are just so addicting. Revell, did you add anything else to them or did you simply slice and dehydrate? How thick of slices? Did yours come out crispy without discoloring? What temp did you dry them at?

:confused:

Thank You!
