Ingredients
- 2 Bananas, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 2 Tablespoons raw honey (or regular honey)
- Prepare the cinnamon honey butter mixture: Combine the cinnamon, butter, and honey in a frying pan over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and all ingredients are well combined.
- Cook the banana slices – first side: Add the banana pieces to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes, allowing the bottoms to caramelize and turn golden brown, while adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Cook the banana slices – second side: Flip all the banana slices carefully and cook for another 4 minutes until the other side is also golden brown and caramelized.
- Serve immediately: Remove from heat and serve the cinnamon-fried bananas warm over ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or French toast for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for best texture; overly ripe bananas may become mushy.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- Adjust cinnamon amount to taste if a stronger flavor is desired.
- Serve immediately since the bananas are best eaten warm and freshly caramelized.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based spread.
