Warm Cinnamon Vanilla Bananas
These banana slices are perfect over creamy vanilla ice cream

as a topping for hot oatmeal, fresh granola or even as a stand alone treat.

They are quick to make and easy to serve.

All it takes is a few simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand:



Cinnamon, Vanilla, Brown Sugar, Butter and Bananas — chances are, if you’re reading Karly’s blog, you have 4 of the 5 in your house, right now.

Peel the bananas



Slice the bananas into coins and drizzle them with the mixture of brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Toss the bananas and spice mixture together until the bananas are fully coated, top the coated bananas with bits of butter



Cover the bananas with a paper towel; microwave for 45 seconds, remove paper towel, stir, re-cover and microwave for 1 minute.

You have several options at this point.

devour with a spoon
serve atop vanilla ice cream
serve over oatmeal
serve over cereal
be nice and share

Spiced Bananas
3 bananas, coin-sliced
4 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp butter

Slice bananas and place them in a microwave-able dish.

Mix together brown sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon; drizzle over banana slices and then toss until the banana slices are completely covered.

Top this mixture with bits of butter.

Cover with a paper towel and microwave for 45 seconds; remove the paper towel and stir. Re-cover the bananas and microwave for an additional minute.

Serve over frosty vanilla ice cream, fresh oatmeal, granola, greek yogurt or even just alone. If you’re feeling really nice, you could share.
