Grilled Banana Ice Cream Sundae
An ice cream sundae with a secret ingredient: cinnamon sugar crusted GRILLED bananas – the perfect treat in this summer heat!
When it comes to the July 4th holiday, I can’t help but invite over some friends and throw something on the grill under the gorgeous Los Angeles sun. I usually like to grill some carne asada or Korean BBQ but this time, I wanted to try something different. Something epic. That’s when I came across the idea of grilled bananas. Crazy, right?
To make this happen, I used firm bananas, brushing on some Mazola® Corn Oil before sprinkling on some of that cinnamon-sugar goodness. Mazola® makes it so easy to enjoy the thrill of the grill while also being good to your heart. It has more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than any other oil – four times more than olive oil and 40% more than canola oil!
So since we’re being heart healthy here and all, I decided to go all out on these grilled bananas. With these cinnamon-sugar crusted bananas, I created a vanilla sundae, drizzling on hot fudge and a spoonful of sprinkles, leaving you with a delightful July 4th dessert to end your holiday celebration.
But let’s be real here – no way we’re having this once a year, right?
But before you start putting your party hats on for the July 4th celebration and faceplant yourself in this sundae, I just had to share this wonderful giveaway with you first.
