Delicious! Pefect if you have a craving for something sweet, but are short on time! I cut the recipe in half and subbed a little cinnamon and nutmeg for the cloves. I toasted the coconut vs. baking it and spinkled it over top when the bananas were done baking. I served this with vanilla ice cream - YUM!

Nice impromptu dessert when we found ourselves with a sweet tooth that needed to be quickly satisfied. I don't care for cloves so I omitted them, but added a dribble of vanilla. I left out the coconut as well, simply to suit our tastes. This was a little on the sweet side, so it definitely needs to be offset with some whipped cream or ice cream (and a drizzle of chocolate syrup). Not bad for a spur of the moment dessert.

Okay, I have to admit I made this similar to a "bananas foster." I subtituted the cloves with cinnamon, added a dash of vanilla, and left out the coconut. The sauce part is wonderful over ice cream! Next time I will make in a saute pan, like original recipes for cooked bananas, to speed up the process. But, I enjoyed tonight with my ice cream, thanks.

This had a nice flavor and went well with vanilla ice cream. It is very sweet. I expected the coconut to toast somewhat while baking, but that didn't happen. If I make this again I will toast the coconut first.

I used orange juice concentrate instead and more importantly (and deliciously) after baking, put it under the broiler for a few minutes to toast the coconut and carmelize the brown sugar and orange concentrate. Much better!

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.
