Cinnamon Baked Bananas
While many people may be averse to fruit for dessert, this recipe transforms a plain banana into a hot treat. And while it’s not quite Bananas Foster, the flavors evoke a similar taste … but with less fat. This recipe is a perfect example of my cooking motto: balance healthy foods with moderate splurges. This simple dessert will leave you satisfied without the guilty regret.
