Banana pecan compote

Serve this flavorful banana topping on pancakes or waffles, or pair with your favorite low-fat yogurt.

For a more decadent sauce, you can add 1 tablespoon of butter after the orange juice has reduced. Cook butter just until melted.

Ingredients (Serves 6)

4 very ripe sliced medium bananas
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Directions

Heat a medium saucepan to medium heat. Add bananas and brown sugar and saute until sugar dissolves, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add orange juice, vanilla and cinnamon. Let the orange juice reduce for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with pecans before serving.
