Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Peel the bananas and cut them into rounds about ½ of an inch thick.
- I used dark brown sugar, but you can use light brown if that’s what you have on hand.
- I used sweetened, shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup is about 1 lemon
- ⅓ cup is about 1 orange (I used clementine juice when making this as I forgot to grab and orange from the store)
- Honey, cinnamon.
- If you’d prefer, you can try making this recipe with plantains as opposed to bananas. Make sure to use a browner plantain, as it will be sweeter! Don’t forget to take the skin off.
- The baked bananas would be absolutely delicious served in oatmeal for breakfast. If you want to go the dessert route, you can scoop them over ice cream!
- If you don’t want your bananas sitting in liquid when you are done, you can decrease the amount of liquid in the recipe
- Drizzle the bananas with honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
