Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Place the banana halves, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the bananas, ensuring they are coated for added flavor and caramelization.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts on top of the bananas, spreading them out evenly.
Lightly sprinkle the sea salt over the bananas to enhance the sweetness and flavor balance.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and the chocolate is melted.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bananas to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
