Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- olive oil spray
- 6 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas and carefully insert a wooden skewer into the center of each banana, lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and place the skewered bananas on the grill pan.
Brush the honey mixture generously over the bananas.
Cook the bananas for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing more honey mixture as needed, until the bananas are caramelized and golden brown on all sides.
Remove the bananaques from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your Low Fat Bananaque warm as a snack or dessert!
