Vegan Baked Bananas

This is a great last-minute treat. It only takes about 30 minutes: 10 hands on and 20 to bake and only uses one bowl. This is a great example of a recipe that really relies on the flavor of the food. This is also a great idea for when you need to make something but don't have a recipe with you. It's easy to remember the important parts and you can totally wing it. You do need to eat them immediately after they're done, you can't wait for them to cool. I love to use the leftover sauce in the bottom of the pan for fake ice cream topping.

Ingredients

enough bananas for everyone you want to feed (makes enough sauce for 4 bananas)
2 tbl fake butter
2 tbl lemon juice
2 tbl brown sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350. While it's heating, put butter and lemon juice in a glass pan or dish and put in oven to melt. Next, peel and slice bananas (first in half shortways then in half longways), take the pan out of the oven and roll the bananas in the melted butter/lemon juice. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over bananas. Put the pan back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Yummm.
