Nilupak na Saging

This kakanin reminds me of the food vendors that goes house to house to sell assorted kakanin (sweets) in a big basket in my hometown, Iloilo City. A recipe so easy to make and you only need 3 ingredients.

You will need:

• 12 pcs steamed/boiled saging na saba (cooking banana)
• 1 cup young grated coconut
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (add more if you want it sweeter)
