Description
Cinnamon Honey Fried Bananas are a delectable and easy-to-make dessert that brings out the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. Sliced and sautéed in butter, these bananas are caramelized to perfection with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Ideal for a quick snack or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt, this treat is a versatile addition to any meal.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt (optional)
Vanilla ice cream or yogurt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Slice the bananas into rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
- Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- Drizzle the honey over the bananas and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, gently stirring to coat the bananas evenly in the honey and cinnamon mixture.
- Serve the cinnamon honey fried bananas warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, over pancakes, or with yogurt for a delicious treat.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular unsalted butter.
Garnish with chopped nuts or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch.
