Baked Bananas
These are also nummy on a bed of sliced apples or strawberries or cherries… heck, make a nice fruit salad to use instead of the bananas!

This might be obvious to anyone else, but 2 questions. The recipe says whole bananas sliced in half. I assume in half lengthwise, so ending up with 2 long pieces. The picture seems to show 4, rather than 2 bananas? Another question – do you slice them all the way through? Wouldn’t all the toppings fall through? Or do you slice the bananas part-way down, like a hot dog bun and THAT is where the toppings go?
Yes, two long pieces per serving. The picture shows two servings. It’s hard to slice the bananas only partway because they’re so thin. Baking them on a bed of foil you can then wrap up helps keep the toppings in.
