Ingredients
Scale
Bananas
- 2 bananas
For Cooking
- 1 tbsp butter
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 2 tbsp sugar (or substitute with honey)
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into approximately ½ inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Melt Butter and Add Sugar: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once it starts melting, add the sugar and stir for a few seconds to combine.
- Add Cinnamon: Sprinkle the cinnamon powder into the melted butter and sugar mixture, stirring for a few more seconds to mix the flavors thoroughly.
- Cook Bananas – First Side: Place the banana slices carefully on top of the cinnamon butter mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom side is caramelized and golden brown.
- Flip Bananas: Turn the banana slices over to caramelize the other side equally. Cook until both sides are nicely caramelized and the bananas are soft.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the warm caramelized bananas as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or oats for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from turning mushy during cooking.
- You can substitute sugar with honey for a natural sweetener.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity according to your taste preference.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
- This recipe pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
