Cinnamon Bananas

Description
This cinnamon-based fruit dessert is immediately similar to the banana fritters. Chocolate syrup sometimes replaces the pigeon peas and works for this for garnishing, too.

Ingredients

 * 4 small bananas
 * 1 teaspoon flour
 * ½ teaspoon powdered cinnamon
 * pinch of salt
 * beaten egg
 * breadcrumbs
 * 2 tablespoons groundnut oil or (2 oz. butter)
 * pigeon peas, optional

Directions

 * 1) Peel and cut the bananas in halves.
 * 2) Dry with flour and cinnamon mixed together.
 * 3) Coat with the beaten egg and breadcrumbs.
 * 4) Heat the oil in a baking pan, and when faintly smoking, put in the bananas. Baste well.
 * 5) Bake in a moderate oven 20 minutes or until brown and soft. Garnish with the pigeon peas, if desired.
