Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe pear
- 2 whole ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
Peel and halve the pears, removing the cores using a spoon. Place the pear halves cut side up in the prepared baking dish.
Slice the bananas into thick rounds (about 1 inch each) and arrange them around the pears in the baking dish.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the pears and bananas. Sprinkle with cinnamon and add a small pat of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) on top of each pear half.
Add a light drizzle of lemon juice over the fruit to enhance the flavors and prevent browning.
If using chopped walnuts, sprinkle them over the fruit for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the bananas are slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm as is, or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
