Baked bananas are deliciously sweet with a touch of cinnamon and honey! They are baked to perfection and I love nothing more than a dessert that’s easy AND made with fruit!

MUST Try Baked Bananas
I love recipes with bananas in them. Once they ripen and get extra sweet, there are SO many options on what to do with them! And this one is literally the easiest of them all. And hands down one of the best! Baked bananas are so sweet and creamy! They come out of the oven all warm and delicious. And then I top them with whipped cream that melts immediately and… well… You’ve got yourself a mouthwatering snack that just melts away in your mouth! Because bananas are naturally sweet, you don’t need to add a lot to them to make them taste delicious. Plus, bananas are a great source of potassium so you can eat something tasty AND get a health benefit from it! It’s a win-win. These bananas are delicious on their own but add them to some ice cream or brownies and these will be next-level delicious! They are a MUST try!
