Pour everything in. I cook this on the stove on a low-med heat uncovered, should be steaming. Stirring frequently. And adding water when needed. This can be done in your Crockpot but I much prefer them done on stove. Each time bottom of pan starts to get some color add some water, to remove bits and stir.

Pina Colada & Red Velvet dehydrated Bananas

Pina Colada & Red Velvet dehydrated Bananas » RecipeCollage.com » October 9, 2024
We love to dehydrate. Ive only owned one for about 3 years, it’s ran nearly everyday since we purchased it! We dehydrate just about everything there almost no waste in this family.
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.

Dehydrate at 145F about 8-10hours, I flip half way threw

Dehydrators will vary in time. Take trays out, let sit for 10-15minutes. Peel from dehydrating sheet. They should be pretty crunchy and not sticky anymore!
Just like everything we Dehydrate they didnt last long!
Love our dehydrator. It’s half the price to the leading brands. But works just as great!
