Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise in half. Place the banana halves in the prepared baking dish with the cut sides facing up.
In a small bowl, mix the instant coffee powder, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a touch of salt (about a pinch).
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the vanilla extract. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the bananas.
Sprinkle the coffee-brown sugar mixture evenly over the buttered bananas, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Spoon the heavy cream over the bananas for added richness. Scatter the chopped nuts over the top for texture and crunch.
Bake the bananas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft, caramelized, and lightly golden on top.
Remove the baked bananas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm as-is, or optionally drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.
