Something Really Awesome Happens When You Use Banana Peel as an Ingredient
A recent study has shown if banana peels are blanched, dried, and ground into a flour, they can be turned into baked goods that taste just as nice, if not better than wheat-based products.
Unless you're a devoted reader of vegan cooking blogs or a Nigella Lawson fan, you've probably never considered cooking with a banana peel. But not only is it perfectly safe, scientists also demonstrated it really is good for you.
When the experiment's products were taste-tested, consumers reported they were just as happy with the flavors as they were with peel-free sugar cookies.

I'm hoping someone starts to produce this for sale in health food stores (Bob's Red Mill, I'm looking at YOU) because banana flour coconut bars sound very intriguing.
