I’m so excited to be a cookbook ambassador for Lisa Leake’s new book, 100 Days of Real Food: Fast & Fabulous!
Today I get to share with you one of the yummy recipes included in the cookbook – Cinnamon Glazed Bananas!
But first, I want to share a little bit about our journey of healthy eating. My husband and I are trying to slowly incorporate changes and I know this cookbook is going to be a big help!
I probably won’t be one to completely cut out all processed foods (every now and then a girl needs an oreo! 😉 ) but I would like to get to the point of almost all processed foods cut out of our diet.
That whole “you are what you eat” thing does ring true – when we eat better, we feel better. The problem is, we’re still figuring out how to choose the best foods with the limited time and budget we have.
That’s why I’m SO excited about this new cookbook. It’s full of fast recipes to make eating real foods a little easier.
Here’s this fast, delicious recipe for Cinnamon-Glazed Bananas:
Cinnamon-Glazed Bananas
This dessert is similar to Bananas Foster. It’s fabulous by itself and even better over vanilla ice cream. Such a tasty real-food treat!
Difficulty: Super easy
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Makes 4 or 5 servings
GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE (IF COCONUT OIL IS SUBSTITUTED FOR THE BUTTER), VEGETARIAN, NUT-FREE
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 large bananas, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- Vanilla ice cream (optional), for serving
In a skillet, combine the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla and set over medium heat. When it starts bubbling, add the bananas and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring to coat. Serve as is or over vanilla ice cream.
LISA’S TIP: You could try this cooking method with other fruits as well, such as apples, pears, or blueberries!
