Cinnamon Bananas

When I was in junior high school, Santa brought us a microwave oven for Christmas.  We were all so excited.  The microwave came with a recipe book that included a recipe for “baked” apples.  You simply cored the apple and stuffed it with butter, cinnamon, and sugar then popped it in the microwave.  As kids, the apple coring was not a simple as it looked, so we made up our own after school snack, which was the same thing but with bananas.  We thought it was delicious!  You can eat it alone or serve the bananas with ice cream.  It’s the perfect use for over ripe bananas and my four-year-old kids can easily make it with a little help.
