Baked Banana With Cinnamon & Honey (Low Fat / Healthy)

I love banana's but can't stand to eat them when they're over-ripe so I always end up binning some. In a bid to cut down on wastage I now eat this delicious baked (or you could BBQ it) banana combo for my breakfast. I like it so much now that it's gone from being a recipe I use to get rid of my over-ripe banana's to being my standard week-day breakfast! It's so versatile... great on it's own, over porridge or weetabix, on toast, with yogurt, or over ice cream... Mmmmmmm!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Pre-heat the oven to 200c (or get your BBQ nice and ready if you're BBQing).
  2. 2
    Either slice the banana up into bite-sized pieces or cut it in half lengthways if you're looking for a smarter presentation or are having an ice cream banana split.
  3. 3
    Place the banana on an over-sized square of tin foil and sprinkle with cinnamon (to taste).
  4. 4
    Drizzle 2tsp of honey evenly over the banana and gather up the corners of the foil to create a little banana parcel.
  5. 5
    Place the parcel in the oven (or on the barbie) and bake for approximately 15mins.
  6. 6
    NB. Baking time depends on how you prefer your bananas - the more you bake, the more soft and gooey they get and the more the honey caramelises onto them. Personally I don't like mine too over-baked as I prefer the banana to still be a bit hard and the honey to be liquid.

    These were pretty good. I baked for 15 minutes and thought they were a bit too soft for me, so I may cook them for 10 minutes next time or lower the temp on the oven. They create a nice juice, dh thought I added butter to it! It's really a nice healthy dessert. Thanks for posting.

    I think I'm addicted to this! I've made it twice in the past two days - once I made it with honey and cinnamon and served it with a little whipped cream and then I made it again with cinnamon and dulce de leche (which is like caramel for anyone not lucky enough to have experienced it!) and again with whipped cream. I think I made some chopped nuts next time too. I baked it at 400F for 15 minutes and it came out perfect! Its very filling and satisfies any sweet cravings you may have while still being healthy - thanks for posting!
