Minatamis na saging (literally "sweetened banana")[1] is a Filipino dessert made with chopped saba bananas[2] cooked in a sweet syrup (arnibal) 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,[3] or other fruits like jackfruit.

It can be eaten on its own or added as an ingredient to other desserts (notably for halo-halo).

[4][5][6][7] The dish can also be cooked with coconut milk instead of water, which is differentiated as ginataang saba.
