Description
Baked bananas are a sweet, comforting treat that combines natural sweetness with cinnamon and caramelized sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), ice cream, or honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Place the bananas cut-side up in a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Drizzle the butter mixture over the bananas, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and caramelized, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve warm, and add your choice of toppings like nuts, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of honey for extra decadence.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture; overripe bananas will become mushy. Feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger.
