Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 Bananas, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 Tablespoons raw honey (or regular honey)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
