Ingredients
Scale
Fried Bananas
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled
- 1 tbsp butter
Cinnamon Honey Sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Cut the peeled bananas into 1/2 inch thick slices to ensure even cooking and proper caramelization.
- Prepare Sauce and Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the honey, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined to create a rich and flavorful sauce base.
- Fry Bananas: Add the banana slices to the skillet and pan fry them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Cook until they are golden brown and caramelized, adjusting the heat lower if they begin to brown too quickly to prevent burning.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve the fried bananas warm. They are delightful over ice cream, fluffy pancakes, or waffles for a decadent breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for best texture; overly ripe bananas may become mushy when fried.
- Reduce honey if you prefer a less sweet sauce.
- To make it vegan, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative like coconut oil.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best caramelized texture and warm sauce.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the sauce for extra flavor.
