Baby Bananas in Orange Sauce (Benin) image

DD (toddler) had us try this one and we both declare it "really yummy!" Origanally posted for ZWT7, Sub-Saharan Africa. An easy dessert that is kid friendly yet upscale enough to serve adults. A different way to use bananas as a dessert topping. The orange sauce coats the bananas and brightens up vanilla ice cream and cake. With recipes like this, I'm not sure why you'd ever eat a plain ol' banana split again! From, globaltableadventure.com

Time 25m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup orange juice (I used freshly squeezed)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, I did use freshly squeezed)
2 slightly under-ripe baby bananas (NOTE poster used red bananas which are about 4 inches long)

Steps:

  • Heat orange juice, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a skillet for about 15 minutes on low (there should be small bubbles breaking the surface, but not quite a simmer). The orange juice will reduce and thicken into a syrup.
  • Peel bananas and add to syrup. Cook for a few minutes per side, making sure to warm through.
  • Serve immediately with ice cream, pound cake, or plain. Both would be all the better!
