Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise down the middle to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully stuff the cream cheese mixture into the banana pockets, evenly dividing the filling among all four bananas.
Place the stuffed bananas on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with honey.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the bananas for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and the edges are slightly caramelized.
Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the bananas for crunch. Optionally, drizzle with more honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy!
