Stovetop "Grilled" Bananas with Cinnamon and Maple



Yesterday I was looking for something that I could have as a dessert that would be healthy.  Or at least healthy-ish. The recipe below is based on one that involved an actual grill or grill pan, as well as toasting pecans.  But a grill pan was too fussy and I didn't have any pecans, so....this is what I came up with.  It tastes vaguely like bananas foster and would be pretty yummy on ice cream, I think.  Will definitely make it again!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Banana, unpeeled
  • Cooking spray
  • ground cinnamon
  • about 2 tsp. real maple syrup, divided


Instructions:

  1. Leave peel on banana and trim ends
  2. Halve lengthwise.
      

  3. Heat a pan to medium and spray with cooking spray
  4. Spread cut sides with half of the maple syrup
  5. Sprinkle with cinnamon
  6. Cook, with cut sides down, for about 3 minutes
      

  7. Flip and cook until bananas start to soften and pull away from peel, about 3 to 5 minutes
  8. Remove bananas from pan and from the peels.
  9. Top with remaining syrup
  10. Enjoy!
