Description

Indulge in a sweet treat with these Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas. Sliced bananas are caramelized in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, creating a deliciously warm and comforting dessert or topping for breakfast dishes.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Optional:

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture bubble for about 30 seconds.
  3. Caramelize Bananas: Add the banana slices in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and caramelized. Gently flip the slices with a spatula to avoid breaking them.
  4. Finish: Remove from heat and drizzle with vanilla extract if using.
  5. Serve: Serve warm on their own or as a topping.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas for best results.
  • Add a splash of maple syrup or rum for extra flavor.
  • Best served immediately.
