Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise in half.
Arrange the banana halves in a single layer in a baking dish.
Drizzle the bananas with the lime juice to enhance their natural flavors.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bananas, followed by the shredded coconut and cinnamon.
Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them across the bananas to create a rich, caramel-like sauce as it bakes.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and the sugar has caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow the bananas to cool slightly.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
