Description
Quick and easy sweet treat featuring caramelized banana chunks coated in a cinnamon-sugar crust, ready in under 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegan butter/coconut oil as a substitute)
- Optional toppings: chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas into thick coins, about 1-inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Melt the butter in another small bowl.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for a minute or two.
- Dip each banana slice into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing lightly to help the coating stick.
- Place the coated banana slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and caramelized. Work in batches if needed.
- Remove the bananas with tongs and transfer them to a serving plate. Add any optional toppings like chocolate sauce or caramel drizzle and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use ripe but firm bananas. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking. Experiment with toppings like crushed nuts or shredded coconut for added texture.
