Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).

  4. Sprinkle the bananas evenly with the juice of half a lemon.
  5. Drizzle the honey over the bananas and dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning the bananas once or twice, until they are tender and golden.
  7. If desired, sprinkle with ground cinnamon or a few grains of nutmeg.
  8. Carefully heat the rum in a small saucepan until warm, then ignite it to burn off some alcohol.
