  Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bubbly and caramelized.

  Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/3 cup light brown sugar. Cut in butter, using fingertips or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  In a medium bowl, beat together 2 eggs, ricotta cheese, and roasted bananas with a hand mixer until mixed. The mixture will be lumpy.
