Easy-peasy Banana Snack

My summer holidays have officially started so I hope to devote more time to whipping out recipes I’ve always wanted to try but didn’t due to the lack of time. I really want this summer hols to be as fruitful (pun intended) as possible!

 

I made this simple snack as I was studying for my BGS paper (which turned out to be tricky) on Friday. Bananas rank as one of my favourite fruits ever because not only are they grab-and-go convenient, but they pack a high level of potassium, which maintains our normal blood pressure and heart function, and a range of B vitamins. And ladies out there, bananas are actually a mood stabilizer and helps reduce the occurance of cramps; essential when those monthly PMS syndromes hit!

All you need is a banana, brown sugar and raisins.

1. Slice the banana length-wise with the skin attached, and place it on a oven-proof dish.

2. Sprinkle a little brown sugar and raisins on top.

3. Microwave it on ‘Low’ for about 20-30 secs.

4. Let the warm, sweet, creamy goodness melt in your mouth!

I ate it with a little yogurt and milk jam but that was because I was greedy. Haha!

Oh, don’t discard the banana skin because it serves to protect the base of the banana from getting burnt, and it keeps the fruit warm after you remove the dish from the microwave oven.

And if you like, add a touch of ground cinnamon power!

I am still without my Macbook (it DIED on me a week ago) so my access to internet is dependent on my brother’s mood on lending me his laptop. What happened to caring and sharing?! Haha but that is the way my relationship with my brothers are… take it or leave it, you know?

Hope to post soonish, and more often!
