Reserve 80mls (1/3 cup) of the orange juice. Place bananas onto a foil-lined baking tray. Cut the skin of the bananas lengthways and gently open to reveal flesh. Dot each banana with 1 teaspoon butter or margarine and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Spoon remaining juice evenly over and close the skins. Cook in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until bananas are tender (skin will blacken). Remove from oven. Stand for 5-10 minutes to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, combine the reserved 80mls (1/3 cup) orange juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until mixture is syrup. Remove from heat and keep warm. To serve, place bananas on individual plates, gently pull back skin and top with syrup, ice-cream and nuts.
