Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the bananas in a single layer.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Arrange the banana halves in the prepared baking dish, cut side up.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, dark brown sugar, dark rum, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the spiced rum mixture evenly over the bananas, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and caramelized.
If desired, sprinkle the baked bananas with toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Serve the bananas warm, either on their own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
