    Don't worry everybody. @Little_Steven and our long-lost friend McNuttly have a special relationship. I was once in your all's shoes.
    Your all's?  La-dee-dah Shakespeare.  It's y'all's, or y'allses'.  
    Everyone knows that its "y'all" or "all y'all". At least everyone in TX. :)

    But damn! That breakfast is awesome! I never even thought of PB chips in pancakes, let alone bacon wrapped bananas.

    ... forgot to ask... how mushy was your banana after 30 min on the egg? 
    pretty much very though the bacon held them together nicely.  One recommendation I would make would be to add either some brown sugar or Pineapple Head to the banana first before wrapping it with bacon to add more sweetness to offset the bacon.  I used bananas that were not quite fully ripe & they could've used some help in that regard

    Wonder if freezing the bananas before wrapping them in bacon would have kept them from getting too soft? Not sure though how you would get wooden toothpicks through them.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Maybe a quasi freeze?  Like 30 minutes in the freezer so they're a little frozen, but not completely?

    Dewalt.  But seriously, it's not a problem unless you have an aversion to cooked bananas & if so there's no way around it, you'd probably not enjoy this.  They're so close to mush uncooked that I don't think there's a way to avoid them getting even mushier during cooking.  That said even after cooking & slicing they held their shape no problem.  Overall they probably have a texture that wouldn't be appealing to many people.  I love cooked bananas, routinely slice one up into oatmeal & then into the microwave for 4 minutes, after that treatment they're barely discernable as bananas anymore, they become more or less an unidentifiable flavoring...  or flavouring if you're an angry dwarf

    Ripe plantains with brow sugar or pineapple head might be a good variation

    I'd say resurrecting this old post for your first comment is a home run.  This thread predates me on the forum, but I so love this idea.

    I really want to do this but very curios on the consistency of the banana after it cooks. Great cook man.
    Probably soft
    Without stating the obvious (@fred19flintstone already did), what difference does it make?  It's wrapped in bacon!  Great creativity, great pictures and great looking food.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    Glad this thread came back - I hadn't seen it.  

    We need more of this out of the box thinking!  Will be trying for sure.
