Tropical Bananas
Ingredients:
- 4 bananas, cut lengthwise
- 1/2 cup pureed pineapple or 1/3 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- a dash of rum (totally optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup pecans
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan with coconut oil or whatever you’ve got on hand. Place cut bananas in the pan. Mix pineapple with maple syrup and optional rum and pour over bananas. Melt the coconut oil and toss with the coconut. Sprinkle evenly on top of the bananas.
Bake at 350 degrees until browned (about 8–10 minutes). Serve over a frozen dessert or plain and sprinkle on pecans at will!
