Peel bananas and cut crosswise into halves. Place into a well-greased baking dish. Brush thoroughly with butter or margarine, then with lemon or lime juice. Sprinkle bananas with coconut.

Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees) 15 to 20 minutes, or until coconut is browned and bananas are tender... easily pierced with a fork.

Garnish with sliced pineapple, fluted orange slices and cherries, if desired. Serve hot.







This recipe is from the 1950 Chiquita Banana's Recipe Book. According to the book, this recipe is "Quick 'n' easy... and so different!"

Mr Breakfast would like to thank Mr Breakfast for this recipe.

This is really cool. Has anybody made it yet? I would love to see some pictures in modern times.
