Ingredients

• 4 ripe bananas
• Honey
• Cinnamon
• 1 ¼ cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¼ cup sour cream

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Peel bananas, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with desired amounts of honey and sprinkle with cinnamon.
