Baked Bananas and Honey
This delicious baked bananas and honey recipe serves six people as a dessert or twelve as an appetizer. You can serve some Mexican desserts as appetizers if you want sweet ones. A lot of Mexican cookies and cakes are really good actually as part of a buffet. The combination of honey, lemon, hazelnuts and bananas is very nutritious and if you want to make a healthy dessert, which also tastes fabulous, this one is highly recommended. Some bananas and honey recipes tell you to fry the bananas in a skillet and you could do that here if you wanted to but baking them also gives good results.
If you want to tweak this recipe, feel free. Put some chocolate over the bananas before you bake them and it will melt and go all gooey, which is really gorgeous and something that kids love. Add marshmallows too, if you like. You can use chopped mixed nuts or chopped walnuts instead of the hazelnuts or use orange juice instead of the lemon juice. This is a very tweak-able recipe and you can really take the main idea and personalize it if you want ideas for totally unique Mexican dessert recipes.
