Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen This recipe only requires five ingredients, and the result is unbelievable: gooey, toasty bananas encrusted in a cinnamon glaze with crunchy pecans and vanilla ice cream. To guarantee the goodness, opt for ripe, firm bananas

Ingredients

2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 firm bananas (unpeeled)
1 pt. vanilla ice cream
1/4 c. pecans

Instructions

Heat grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Cut the bananas lengthwise and crosswise, leaving the peel on. Lightly oil the grill. Place the bananas cut-side down on the grill and cook until slightly charred, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, turn the bananas, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and cook until the peels begin to separate from the bananas, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Discard the peels from the bananas. Divide the bananas among bowls, top with the ice cream and sprinkle with the pecans.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
