You cannot beat a 5-ingredients dessert that is ready in under 30 minutes! Warn bananas are ideal for the sauteed praline-style sauce, The easy caramel-nut sauce is not only divine over sautéed bananas, but it's also delicious drizzled over frozen yogurt or angel food cake. Kids and adults alike will be thrilled when this dessert hits the table. The creamy texture of the cooked banana is complemented well by the crunch of the praline. Make a double-batch for fun and flavorful dessert during the holidays when family comes for dinner.

Ingredients

Maple syrup

5½ Tbsp

Fat free skim milk

3 Tbsp

Chopped pecans

3 Tbsp

Cooking spray

1 spray(s)

Banana(s)

4 large, peeled, halved lengthwise and then crosswise

Instructions

  1. Combine maple syrup, milk and pecans in a small saucepan; set pan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the mixture thickens and reduces to about 1/3 cup, about 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add bananas (make sure to slice them just before cooking to prevent discoloration) and sauté until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
  3. Transfer bananas to dessert plates and spoon praline sauce over top. Yields 1 banana and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of sauce per serving.
