Bananas have such healing elements. Not only are they tasty, their good for you!

Hubby was making dinner on the grill. Jerk chicken, rice and grilled pineapple. I was on dessert. I looked at 3 bananas on the counter, getting browner by the day. “I think I’ll grill bananas!” “Do we have vanilla ice cream?” “No, but the store around the corner does!”

Make certain the grill grates are brushed and cleaned off before starting to grill your bananas.

Split bananas in skins, in half.
Brush flat side with butter. Add brown sugar, vanilla, salt and cinnamon to butter, stir until combined, and sugar has liquified. Set aside.
