Ingredients
  

  • Plantains
  • Green unripe bananas
  • Butternut squash
  • Sweet potatoes

Instructions
 

  • Choose one of the more commonly found ingredients above to replace your saba bananas in your recipe.
  • The moisture level of the top four ingredients is approximately the same as a saba banana, so feel free to use a 1:1 ratio (aka cup-for-cup ratio). 
  • Depending on whether your recipe is sweet, savory or somewhere in between, you may even want to try a combination of these ingredients to find the perfect substitute for the mildly sweet and more exotic flavor of the saba banana.
