How to Make Baked Mexican Bananas

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches), arrange 4 ripe, but firm, bananas in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the zest and juice of 1 lime, the zest of 1 orange, 1/4 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Pour the citrus-spice mixture evenly over the bananas in the baking dish.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the bananas are lightly browned and bubbling and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  7. Spoon 3 banana slices onto each plate, and drizzle generously with the delicious baking sauce.
