Ingredients
Scale
Bananas
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
Cooking Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Slice the ripe bananas into rounds about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking and a perfect caramelization.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and slightly bubbly.
- Cook the Bananas: Add the banana slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and develop a nice caramelized crust.
- Add Honey and Spices: Drizzle honey over the bananas evenly, then sprinkle ground cinnamon and brown sugar on top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the bananas to caramelize further and the sugar to melt into a sticky glaze.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the fried cinnamon bananas warm. They are delicious on their own, over pancakes, or paired with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming mushy during frying.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor.
- For a vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
