We enjoyed this baked banana dessert. The outcome was a little soupy -- not sure if I did something wrong as I did cut the recipe in half. Served this desert with vanilla ice creat and it was very tasty.

I think I may have overcooked the bananas but they were very runny at 20 minutes, and they turned a funny reddish brown color from the cinnamon, so I didn't take a photo. I served them with some whipped cream and the flavor was good, even if they didn't look very pretty. Thank you for posting. Made for CQ '16.

So yummy. I served this with French vanilla ice cream and you could hear all of the oohs and aahs. Thanks for sharing, Linda. Made for CQ3 - Bahamas.

I do love bananas! YUM! This was wonderful, served over some vanilla bean ice cream. I used my toaster oven, and they were ready in about 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing, momaphet!
