Very easy. Very good. Very very sweet. Best attempted with bananas just coming ripe. 3 to 5 minutes more oven time was required and I had to use a larger baking dish. Dynamite with creamy vanilla ice cream. I will definitely use this one again.

I used older bananas in this and it was watery after 10 minutes. I had to increase the temp to 450 to get it to carmelize and brown on top and had to cook it for 5-10 more minutes. The flavor was great, I did substitute honey for the sugar and put a dash of nutmeg on top. Can't wait to try it on ice cream!

This was a good and different way to use up bananas, but I think the baking time should be increased. I baked my dish for 12 minutes but it could have gone longer. The bananas were not baked through.

Nice recipe. The only change I made was to bake bananas for 15 minutes. Very good to serve them with ice cream.

Yummy! I didn't have any cloves, but I did have some brown sugar, a bit of Vanilla extract and a spalsh of orange juice. I added these 3 ingredients to a pan of a bit of melted butter and it was sooo good! I didn't have any banana's but I did have some very ripe plantains and it was just as delicious!

I made these for company because they had a pretty good rating. My company did not like them, nor did my husband or I. They were waaay too mushy. I followed the recipe to a T. My husband was a little more lenient with his opinion but still would not eat them.

Although this came out of the oven fairly drippy, it was fabulous! I will try to combine the butter and sugar next time, but will definitely be making this again.

This was much better than I had expected--the thought of warm bananas was a turn off. I had some bananas I wanted to use up and was tired of my usual methods. This turned out wonderful. I, like others, simply sprinkled the sugar and butter on top (I decreased the amount of sugar). Instead of orange juice I added a peeled and sliced fresh orange (I think pineaple would be a good addition as well). Very good over vanilla ice cream.

My family LOVED this! I had some bananas that didn't really seem pretty enough to eat plain, so I searched for a way to cook them instead (as to not waste them). I decided to try this recipe because it was so very simple. I did as most others did, and sprinkled the banans with the ingredients and dotted with butter instead of creaming it together. Also, I used freshed squeezed clementine oranged instead of OJ (I used more because fresh squeezed is milder than OJ). I also drizzled the bananas with dark rum (a VERY little). It came out fabulous and would have been even tastier with vanilla icecream or frozen yogurt. Super easy! Will do again for sure.

I made these for me and my wife and they turned out better than I could have expected. I also served the bananas over french vanilla frozen yogurt with cinnamon sprinkled on top and it really made it a great well rounded dessert. Highly recommended!!

I made this for my mother, father and husband and they all loved it! We put whipped topping ontop. If you like cloves you'll love this! My mom is not a fan of bananas but she was raving!

Wow! This recipe was great. My husband raved about it and stated he will never again throw away spotty bananas if this is what can be done with them. The only change i made to the recipe was to simply sprinkle all ingredients on top of the bananas then dot with butter, rather than creaming them together with the butter. I think next time i make this recipe i will slice the bananas into coins instead of slicing lengthwise to make it easier to serve over top of vanilla ice cream.

very yummy and sweet, a different twist on the quick dessert, only thing....it needs to be eaten pretty quickly because the bananas will turn brown if refridgerated.

These bananas were fabulous! I had some turning bananas, but my roommates and I are sick of banana bread so I went in search of something different. I only had 3 bananas to use, so I modified the recipe a bit. I did not cream the butter and sugar. Instead, I just drizzled orange juice on the bananas, sprinkled with brown sugar, dotted the top with butter, and sprinkled on a handful of coconut. This was not too sweet... perfect for using up extra bananas. I think using less butter and sugar is better, as it just gives the banana flavor a little boost.

I made this for a big "Cuban food" party I hosted. It went well with the pork roast, rice and beans we served. I didn't add the coconut but it was still good. Very easy to prepare ahead and just throw in the oven 10 minutes before chow time.
