Cinnamon Baked Bananas

Bananas Gone Wild: Cinnamon Baked Delights 🍌✨

Okay, so have you ever had those moments when bananas just sit there, looking all sad and spotty? Like, you know they’re past their prime but you’re not ready to toss ‘em out? Same! Well, I’ve got the perfect solution for you. Let’s turn those sad squishies into something magical. You with me?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, here’s the deal. You only need three simple things. Like, how easy is that?

– 3 medium bananas (duh, right? Should be a no-brainer)
– 3 tablespoons maple syrup (the good stuff, please—none of that fake syrup nonsense)
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (cuz, who doesn’t love a little spice in their life?)

I swear, these ingredients come together like besties at a reunion. You just mix and match and boom! Deliciousness!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

So, one time, I had a bunch of friends over for brunch, and you know how it is—everyone brought something. I was a little last-minute with my contribution (surprise, surprise), and all I had were these sad bananas. I thought, “Great, I’m gonna be the friend who shows up with nothing but fruit.” But then I remembered this recipe!

I whipped up these cinnamon baked bananas, and OMG! Everyone was like, “What is this sorcery?!” They were a hit! Honestly, I’ve made them for every gathering since. It became my secret weapon. And like, now every time I see ripe bananas, my brain just goes, “Cinnamon Baked Bananas, get to work!”

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, so here’s the magic trick: Don’t skip the parchment paper! Seriously, it’s a game changer. Your bananas won’t stick and you won’t end up with a gooey mess that you have to scrub off. Trust me, I learned the hard way. 🙈

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Tip 1: Watch them closely as they bake! Like, start peeking at the 13-minute mark. You want them golden brown but not mushy mush.

– Tip 2: Don’t overdo the syrup. Seriously. Just 3 tablespoons is plenty. You want some banana flavor, not a sugar bomb.

– Tip 3: If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little sea salt on top before serving. It’s like adding a little magic dust. ✨

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Haha, good luck! I mean, once you make these, they’re basically gone. But if you have leftovers (which you probably won’t), pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re good for like, 2 days? But honestly, you’ll be eating them way before that.
