Bananas "Foster"

Categories:
desserts, fruits, low fat

3 firm bananas
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
Cardamom or cinnamon; to taste
1/2 cup half-and-half

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel and slice the bananas into a baking dish. Crumble the brown sugar over the bananas. Bake 5 minutes. Dot with butter. Divide equally onto dessert plates. Sprinkle with cardamom or cinnamon. Pour half-and-half around the bananas and serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 servings. Comments: Instead of frying the bananas in butter, this recipe bakes them instead. Serving them with half-and-half instead of ice cream also saves fat and calories.
