Description

Delicious fried cinnamon bananas caramelized in butter, honey, and brown sugar. This quick and easy dessert or breakfast topping features golden banana slices infused with warm cinnamon and sweet honey, perfect served on their own, pancakes, or with ice cream.


Ingredients

Bananas

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds

Cooking Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Slice the ripe bananas into rounds about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  2. Melt the Butter: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt the butter to create a rich base for frying the bananas.
  3. Cook the Bananas: Place the banana slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and start to caramelize gently.
  4. Add Honey and Spices: Drizzle honey evenly over the bananas, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the honey and sugar to melt and coat the bananas with a sweet, sticky glaze.
  5. Serve: Remove the caramelized bananas from the heat and serve warm. Enjoy them as a snack, breakfast topping, or dessert, paired perfectly with pancakes or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas for best texture; overly ripe bananas may become too mushy when fried.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar to your taste preference for sweetness and spice level.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • These fried bananas are best served immediately to enjoy their warm, soft texture and caramelized flavor.
