BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel the bananas and slice in half lengthwise. Lay the pieces into a buttered 9-by-13-by-2-inch ovenproof dish. Pour the lime juice and rum evenly over the bananas. Sprinkle on the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Dot on the butter, if using, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot, topped with a tablespoon of fresh cream or ice cream.

BAKED BANANA WITH CINNAMON & HONEY (LOW FAT / HEALTHY)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200c (or get your BBQ nice and ready if you're BBQing).
• Either slice the banana up into bite-sized pieces or cut it in half lengthways if you're looking for a smarter presentation or are having an ice cream banana split.
• Place the banana on an over-sized square of tin foil and sprinkle with cinnamon (to taste).
• Drizzle 2tsp of honey evenly over the banana and gather up the corners of the foil to create a little banana parcel.
• Place the parcel in the oven (or on the barbie) and bake for approximately 15mins.
• NB. Baking time depends on how you prefer your bananas - the more you bake, the more soft and gooey they get and the more the honey caramelises onto them. Personally I don't like mine too over-baked as I prefer the banana to still be a bit hard and the honey to be liquid.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or a BBQ). Make a slit through the skin of the bananas along one side - making sure you don't cut all the way through to the other side. Poke in the chocolate buttons along the cut. Put each banana onto a sheet of foil and crimp the edges together to seal into a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and any melted chocolate that has escaped!
