I think it would be a fun idea to continue this story 
(btw in case you’re wondering: yes, it is a fictional story)
彼はバナナを好きですので、バナナを食べました。
Words I had to look up:
彼 (he)
食べる (to eat)

I think, “彼はバナナが好きなので、バナナを食べました。” might be more natural, but I’m not 100% sure

I don’t think that 好きな would be correct, though, as I’m not modifying a noun with it? 
Also, bananas are being liked by him, this is why I chose を, but I’m not too good with that yet, so might be wrong
な is needed to connect a な adjective directly to ので, and yes, technically the の is performing a noun or noun-like role.
を好き is not impossible, but it’s not what you need here. が好き is correct.

Ah, ok, thanks, I didn’t know that 
is this always true for の?

There are a bunch of uses of の, so it’s not always correct if の has some other usage… but maybe I’m not sure exactly what you mean.

I might be wrong, but I think this is how な adjectives work with ので、for example
Btw, if you type #sentences at jisho org after a word or word combination (like なので #sentences), you would get example sentences with that word or word combination. Keep in mind though that, unlike WK Context Sentences which, as crazy as some of them are, have been nevertheless checked by native speakers, jisho example sentences are open source and might contain mistakes.

So, the correct way to say the sentence would be, as @trunklayer already told me, " 彼はバナナが好きなので、バナナを食べました。" Why do I use a が instead of the を, tho? Isn’t が the subject marker? Or has it also some other usages I don’t know about yet?

好き isn’t a verb, it’s an adjective. For now all you need to know is that it works like that. There was actually a recent thread doing more of a deep dive on it, but it will probably overwhelm you at this stage.

Out of curiosity, what resources are you using for grammar? I think people might be able to give some general suggestions to put you on a good path to understand the basics

My main resource is currently BunPro, but I’ve noticed that related information (like the different conjugations of verbs) are scattered up along the lessons and make it thus very hard for me to remember. This is why I yesterday wrote a grammar guide to verb conjugation on my study log, to put the whole concept of verb conjugations in one system, to find out rules behind them that apply to Ichidan verbs as well as Godan verbs, and I think I was pretty successful.
This is something I want to do with other grammar points as well, like adjectives, because writing that guide helped me a looooooooooot, I’m now able to remember all that stuff way better!

For a TLDR you might want to have a look at Tea Kim’s guide, since he has a couple of initial chapters about particles, etc.

Thank you! I also realised it should be 始まる, non-transitive. So:
「ワニカニは死んでいる」と誰かが口にしたけど、私は先日ライフタイムを買ったから命はしか始まっていません。
