Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium heat and spray the grates lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise to create two long halves per banana.
In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, honey, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well combined.
Using a basting brush, gently coat the cut sides of the bananas with the glaze mixture.
Place the bananas cut-side down on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the bananas are slightly caramelized.
Carefully flip the bananas and brush more glaze on the tops. Grill for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
Remove the bananas from the grill and serve warm with optional toppings like whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or chopped nuts for an extra indulgent treat.
