Pan-fried Honey Bananas

Prep time 5 minutes    Cook time 5 minutes    Total time  10 minutes 

 These pan-fried bananas are caramelized in honey and cinnamon for a simple and delicious treat!

Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas 

1 tbsp oil or butter* 

2 tbsp honey 

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 

1/8 tsp salt 

Directions

Remove the peels from the bananas and slice them 1/2" inch thick. 

Set a nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat** and add the oil or butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.Add the banana slices, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and caramelized. Be sure to watch the heat and turn it down if it browns too quickly. You want enough heat to caramelize and brown the slices, but you don’t want them to burn.

Once the bananas are cooked you can enjoy them as is, or with marshmallow creme and peanut butter in a sandwich, with Bananas Foster French Toast, in oatmeal or yogurt, over ice cream, and more. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

 *My favorite cooking fats for this recipe are coconut oil or butter, but you may use any neutral oil you prefer.

**If you have an electric stove, they tend to be less powerful than gas, so go with medium high heat. If you have a more powerful and responsive gas stove, you can try medium heat. When cooking, check to make sure that the bananas are caramelizing but not burning, and adjust the heat as needed.
