Scale
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Slice the ripe bananas into 1/2 inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and easy handling in the skillet.
- Melt the Butter: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely and coat the pan.
- Cook the Bananas: Place the banana slices into the skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and slightly softened.
- Add Honey and Spices: Drizzle honey evenly over the banana slices, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, letting the bananas caramelize and the sugar melt into a flavorful glaze.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the fried cinnamon bananas warm. They are perfect on their own, paired with pancakes, or topped with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas that are firm but not overly soft for best texture.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey and brown sugar as desired.
- For a vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture as bananas may soften further when cooled.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor complexity.
