Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
Arrange the banana halves in a single layer in a baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the cinnamon, honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the bananas in the baking dish, ensuring all bananas are well coated.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the baked bananas warm, drizzled with the remaining sauce from the dish. Optionally, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
