Ingredients

• 4 whole Bananas
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise down the middle to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully stuff the cream cheese mixture into the banana pockets, evenly dividing the filling among all four bananas.

Step 5

Place the stuffed bananas on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with honey.

Step 6

Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the bananas for added flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and the edges are slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the bananas for crunch. Optionally, drizzle with more honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
