Baked Banana Recipes

HOMEMADE BAKED BANANA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250F. Line a large sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, combine 4 parts (4 tablespoons) water with 1 part (1 tablespoon) lemon juice.
• Slice bananas very thin, about 1/8″ thick coins, brush with lemon juice and water mixture. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
• Bake at 250F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until they are crispy, making sure to flip them over halfway through.
• Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool (the longer they cool the crispier they become).

BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Arrange banana halves in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle maple syrup over bananas and top with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

BAKED BANANA WITH CINNAMON & HONEY (LOW FAT / HEALTHY)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200c (or get your BBQ nice and ready if you're BBQing).
• Either slice the banana up into bite-sized pieces or cut it in half lengthways if you're looking for a smarter presentation or are having an ice cream banana split.
• Place the banana on an over-sized square of tin foil and sprinkle with cinnamon (to taste).
• Drizzle 2tsp of honey evenly over the banana and gather up the corners of the foil to create a little banana parcel.
• Place the parcel in the oven (or on the barbie) and bake for approximately 15mins.
• NB. Baking time depends on how you prefer your bananas - the more you bake, the more soft and gooey they get and the more the honey caramelises onto them. Personally I don't like mine too over-baked as I prefer the banana to still be a bit hard and the honey to be liquid.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or a BBQ). Make a slit through the skin of the bananas along one side - making sure you don't cut all the way through to the other side. Poke in the chocolate buttons along the cut. Put each banana onto a sheet of foil and crimp the edges together to seal into a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and any melted chocolate that has escaped!

ROASTED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300°F
• Rinse and dry your bananas.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place the unpeeled bananas on the lined baking sheet.
• With the tines of a fork, poke a few holes in the banana skin.
• Bake the bananas for 15-30 minutes*. When the peel becomes shiny and black, remove them from the oven.
• When cool enough to handle, split open the skin in order to scoop out the roasted banana.
• The roasted bananas can be used immediately or frozen.
