Ingredients for Baked Bananas

  • 3-4 ripe bananas
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Milk
  • Ice Cream

How to Make Baked Bananas

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
  3. Place the banana halves in a baking dish.
  4. Drizzle the bananas generously with melted butter.
  5. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bananas.
  6. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor (optional).
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and caramelized and the sugar has melted into a delicious sauce.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! Consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent treat.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
