We had so many bananas from our tree i was looking for another easy recipe to use the bananas. This was great. I didn’t have orange juice so used maple syrup. Sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. I did t have coconut on hand this time but can’t wait to make again when I do.
Very very good.
AWESOME!!!!! Made it just as receipe calls. It was quick and easy. We put it on top of ice cream.
Mouth-watering! Nice to have such an easy recipe to whip up to satisfy a sweeet tooth. I didn’t have brown sugar, so used honey instead, and would highly recommend that. I also added an equal amount of cinnamon to cloves. Will definitely make again!
I made a few changes to the recipe to substitute for my allergies and they worked great. I simply used 1/4 C virgin unrefined coconut oil instead of butter and 1/2 tsp of asorbic acid (Vitamin C powder) dissolved in water (mixed to desired sourness)of which I only added 1 3/4 Tbs substituting for the orange juice. The coconut flavor made this dessert even more tropical.
Delicious! Pefect if you have a craving for something sweet, but are short on time! I cut the recipe in half and subbed a little cinnamon and nutmeg for the cloves. I toasted the coconut vs. baking it and spinkled it over top when the bananas were done baking. I served this with vanilla ice cream – YUM!
A very simple recipe with good flavor and was wonderful served over vanilla ice cream.
Nice impromptu dessert when we found ourselves with a sweet tooth that needed to be quickly satisfied. I don’t care for cloves so I omitted them, but added a dribble of vanilla. I left out the coconut as well, simply to suit our tastes. This was a little on the sweet side, so it definitely needs to be offset with some whipped cream or ice cream (and a drizzle of chocolate syrup). Not bad for a spur of the moment dessert.
Okay, I have to admit I made this similar to a “bananas foster.” I subtituted the cloves with cinnamon, added a dash of vanilla, and left out the coconut. The sauce part is wonderful over ice cream! Next time I will make in a saute pan, like original recipes for cooked bananas, to speed up the process. But, I enjoyed tonight with my ice cream, thanks.
This had a nice flavor and went well with vanilla ice cream. It is very sweet. I expected the coconut to toast somewhat while baking, but that didn’t happen. If I make this again I will toast the coconut first.
Yum! These are just wonderful! Followed the recipe exactly. I would make them again, for sure.
I used orange juice concentrate instead and more importantly (and deliciously) after baking, put it under the broiler for a few minutes to toast the coconut and carmelize the brown sugar and orange concentrate. Much better!
Very simple and delicious! I will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks!
Loved it !!!!! I added a little bit of rum and served it with vanilla ice cream….
Very easy. Very good. Very very sweet. Best attempted with bananas just coming ripe. 3 to 5 minutes more oven time was required and I had to use a larger baking dish. Dynamite with creamy vanilla ice cream. I will definitely use this one again.
I used older bananas in this and it was watery after 10 minutes. I had to increase the temp to 450 to get it to carmelize and brown on top and had to cook it for 5-10 more minutes. The flavor was great, I did substitute honey for the sugar and put a dash of nutmeg on top. Can’t wait to try it on ice cream!
This was a good and different way to use up bananas, but I think the baking time should be increased. I baked my dish for 12 minutes but it could have gone longer. The bananas were not baked through.
This was a very quick and easy recipe. Loved it!! will certainly be making this again soon! Thank you
Nice recipe. The only change I made was to bake bananas for 15 minutes. Very good to serve them with ice cream.
Yummy! I didn’t have any cloves, but I did have some brown sugar, a bit of Vanilla extract and a spalsh of orange juice. I added these 3 ingredients to a pan of a bit of melted butter and it was sooo good! I didn’t have any banana’s but I did have some very ripe plantains and it was just as delicious!
This was awesome. I made it with lamb and spinach orzo. Went great with it. My Kids liked it a lot. Everyone liked it.
