Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with the coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Arrange the banana halves in the prepared baking dish, cut side up.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, raw honey, sea salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Drizzle the cinnamon and honey mixture evenly over the bananas.
If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the bananas for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and the topping is bubbly and lightly golden.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bananas cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as they are, or with a scoop of coconut milk ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
