Sweet, caramelized bananas with warm cinnamon, pan-fried to golden perfection for breakfast or dessert.

# What You Need:

01 - 2 large ripe bananas

02 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

03 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar

04 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

05 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

02 - In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar until well combined.

03 - Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.

04 - Add the banana slices in a single layer. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the underside.

05 - Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the bananas, then gently flip each slice.

06 - Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until caramelized and tender.

07 - Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or ice cream.

01 -

The caramelized edges get sticky and sweet while the centers stay creamy and soft
Ready in under fifteen minutes from start to finish with ingredients you probably have right now

02 -

Crowding the pan steams the bananas instead of frying them so work in batches if needed
Watch the heat because the sugar can go from perfect to burned in seconds

03 -

Diagonal slices look prettier and create more edges for that crispy caramelized coating
Use coconut oil and maple syrup to make this completely plant based without losing any of the magic
