Super Food Saturday- Baked Bananas



  I often get asked if I make the recipes I post. The answer is that every recipe posted is one that I've made and not every recipe makes the cut to be in the blog.

I make the recipe and take a picture. The exception is today's recipe.  I borrowed a picture from the internet because I could not find the pictures I took of today's dish.

With no bananas in the house I had no way to take a picture and not time to search for the ones I took. I am off to indoor bike class in a few minutes and then on to my shift for ski patrol.

I got this recipe from one of the members in one of my facebook groups.

I seem to crave sweets plenty at this time of year. This recipe satisfies my sweet tooth and is still pretty healthy.  I like this recipe because I can satify my sweet tooth without eating those cookies and candies that are all over at this time of year.

1firm banana
Cinnamon
Brown sugar or honey optional

Peel one banana lengthwise or cut into chunks
Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Place the banana on the sheet and sprinkle with a little bit of brown sugar or just the cinnamon.  Bake in a 350 F oven for 10 minutes. If you did not use the brown sugar you can drizzle with honey or choclate syrup.

Serves 1

Superfood : banana
