Shredded or desiccated coconut
3 tsp
Pecans
2 tsp, chopped
Sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place bananas in skins on prepared tray. Bake for 5 minutes or until the skins turn very dark (almost black). Remove from oven and increase temperature to 200°C.

Using a sharp knife, make a cut through the skin lengthways down each banana, then cut about 3cm crossways at each end of the long slit. Open skins slightly, sprinkle bananas evenly with chocolate chips, coconut and pecans, then drizzle with condensed milk. Return bananas to oven. Bake for a further 5 minutes or until toppings are toasted and condensed milk has caramelised.
