Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup yogurt, 4 banana pieces, and 1/3 cup sauce)

Ingredients

  • 2  medium bananas
  • 1/3  cup  firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2  tablespoons  reduced-calorie margarine
  • 1  (8-ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained
  • 1/4  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 1/4  cup  white rum
  • 2  cups  vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt

Preparation

Peel bananas; cut each banana in half lengthwise. Cut each half into four pieces.

Place brown sugar and margarine in a large skillet, and cook over medium heat until margarine melts, stirring constantly. Add banana, pineapple chunks, and cinnamon; cook just until banana is tender, stirring and basting frequently with cooking liquid.

Place rum in a small saucepan, and cook until warm. Ignite rum with a long match, and pour over banana mixture. Stir banana mixture gently until flame dies down. Spoon yogurt into dessert bowls, and top with banana mixture. Serve immediately.
