### Bringing the bananas:
4. ** Prepare to bake: ** Place the bananas stuffed in a baking dish.Distribute butter pieces on each banana to help caramelize and add flavor during the roasting process.

5. ** Bake the bananas: ** Bake and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until bananas are completely cooked and the cheese has melted.

6. ** Finish the plate: ** Remove from oven and, if desired, sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top or add a wire of honey.This will not only increase the sweetness but will also give an even more appetizing aroma to the plate.
