Ingredients
- 2 Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Almond Butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to prepare for baking the bananas.
- Prepare Bananas: With the banana peel still on, slice each banana lengthwise halfway through its thickness to create a pocket for the filling.
- Stuff Bananas: Gently widen the pocket with your finger and stuff each banana with 1 tablespoon of almond butter. Then sprinkle each banana with ground cinnamon for a warm spicy flavor.
- Wrap & Bake: Wrap each stuffed banana individually with aluminum foil to lock in moisture, then place them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the bananas become tender and aromatic.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the foil-wrapped bananas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the creamy, warm almond butter filling safely.
Notes
- Using ripe but firm bananas works best to hold the shape during baking.
- You can substitute almond butter with other nut butters such as peanut or cashew if desired.
- For added sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup before baking.
- This dish can be served on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or yogurt for dessert.
