Minatamis na saging

Minatamis na saging is a Filipino dessert made with chopped saba bananas cooked in a sweet syrup made with muscovado sugar and water. Some recipes also add a little bit of salt and pandan leaf or vanilla extract. Other ingredients can also be added like sweet potato, sago, or other fruits like jackfruit. It can be eaten on its own or added as an ingredient to other desserts. Adding the dessert over milk and shaved ice also results in another dessert known as saba con yelo.
The dish can also be cooked with coconut milk instead of water, which is differentiated as ginataang saba.
