Oven Baked Cinnamon-Pecan Almond Butter Banana Boats

Try to say that title ten times fast haha! It's a mouthful, but don't let that name scare you--these are totally easy to whip up and I love making this as a healthier treat to curb my sweet tooth! Recipe and photo from Boys Ahoy

Ingredients

  1. 2 bananas
  2. 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  3. 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
  4. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, plus extra for dusting bananas
  5. 2-4 tbsp almond butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Melt coconut oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add pecans and cinnamon, cook, stirring continuously until toasted. Set aside.
  3. With peels still on, cut each banana 1/2 inch deep (about half way through)
  4. Place bananas on a sheet of foil. Crimp and shape foil around the bananas so they will sit flat on a baking sheet.
  5. Fill bananas with 1-2 tbsp almond butter and 1-2 tbs toasted pecans. Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon.
  6. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until bananas are soft. Let cool slightly before removing the peel and eating.
Notes
  1. **use more or less almond butter and chopped pecans
