15 minFifteen minutes and a microwave. That’s all that stands between you and a warm, caramelized tropical dessert.
Bananas get coated in melted butter, then smothered with a mixture of fresh orange juice, diced orange pieces, and brown sugar.
A few minutes in the microwave softens everything into a glossy, sticky glaze that clings to each banana quarter.
A handful of shredded coconut on top adds a toasty crunch that pulls the whole thing together.
Variations
- Toast the coconut in a dry pan before sprinkling for extra nutty flavor and crunch.
- Add a splash of dark rum to the orange juice mixture for a boozy take on bananas Foster.
- Serve over vanilla ice cream while still warm for an instant weeknight dessert that feels fancy.
