Warm Cinnamon Spiced Bananas – Guest Post

Assuming everything goes as planned today we’ll be heading in to Nassau, spending our time at Atlantis. I hope the sharks don’t smell all the butter, bacon, and chocolate on me. Just in case this is the last time you ever hear from me: I love you always. Now, for today’s recipe, Rachel, whom I love very much both because she cooks yummy food and because she is just about the sweetest person you’ll ever meet, from A Southern Fairy Tale has such a yummy dessert for you guys. I hope you love her and her food as much as I do!

You know those desserts that you get when you go out to eat?

The ones with the perfectly spiced warm fruit served atop melting vanilla ice cream? Those ‘special occasion’ desserts.

Now, y’all can have those special occasion desserts, at home any time in less than 10 minutes.

I give y’all:

Warm Cinnamon Vanilla Bananas

These banana slices are perfect over creamy vanilla ice cream

as a topping for hot oatmeal, fresh granola or even as a stand alone treat.

They are quick to make and easy to serve.

All it takes is a few simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand:

Cinnamon, Vanilla, Brown Sugar, Butter and Bananas — chances are, if you’re reading Karly’s blog, you have 4 of the 5 in your house, right now.

Peel the bananas

Slice the bananas into coins and drizzle them with the mixture of brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Toss the bananas and spice mixture together until the bananas are fully coated, top the coated bananas with bits of butter

Cover the bananas with a paper towel; microwave for 45 seconds, remove paper towel, stir, re-cover and microwave for 1 minute.

You have several options at this point.

devour with a spoon
serve atop vanilla ice cream
serve over oatmeal
serve over cereal
be nice and share

This looks absolutely delicious, and I can make this in my dorm room, always a bonus! I knew Rachel was a Texan (or at least in Texas) before I even read her blog, because she’s got Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla in the picture! Can’t wait to try this recipe.

I am definitely going to try these on oatmeal. I’ve been craving oatmeal anyway and this would just make it even better. Now if only the snow would go away so I could get to the store to get some bananas…

I tried to make this with only 1 banana and (although I did reduce the cooking time) I still kind of overcooked the bananas but they were still great!
