    2 Tbsp chopped pecans

    Sprinkle cut sides of bananas with cinnamon; lightly brush with 1 teaspoon maple syrup. Cook, cut sides-down, until grill marks appear, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until bananas start to pull away from peel and soften, 3-5 minutes.
    Remove bananas from grill; place on a serving platter. Brush cut sides of bananas with remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup; sprinkle with pecans (dust with additional cinnamon, if desired).
    Serving size: 1 banana half with 1/2 tablespoon pecans.
