1
Prepare the Saba Bananas
Peel the Saba bananas carefully and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.
2
Make the Sugar Mixture
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and coconut milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.

3
Cook the Bananas
Add the sliced Saba bananas to the saucepan with the sugar mixture. Stir gently to coat the bananas evenly in the sauce.
4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the bananas to absorb the flavors and the sauce to thicken.

5
Plate the Dish
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Serve the Saba bananas warm in a bowl, drizzling some of the thickened coconut sugar sauce over the top.
6
Add Toppings
If desired, sprinkle grated coconut, chopped nuts, and sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
