Description
Delectable pan fried cinnamon bananas merge sweet caramelization with warm spice notes. Caribbean-inspired desserts offer quick comfort and simple pleasure for home cooks seeking elegant treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bananas (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsps honey (preferably raw)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Craft a luscious caramelizing base by melting butter with cinnamon and honey in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, stirring until ingredients seamlessly integrate and create a glossy mixture.
- Gently arrange banana slices in a single layer across the fragrant pan, allowing them to sizzle undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottom develops a rich golden-brown caramelization.
- Delicately transform each slice using a spatula, revealing the glistening caramelized surface, and cook the opposite side for an additional 3-4 minutes until uniformly bronzed and tender.
- Swiftly transfer the warm, caramelized banana slices from the pan, presenting them as a versatile accompaniment to desserts like ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or French toast, ensuring maximum flavor enjoyment while still piping hot.
Notes
- Select ripe yet firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape during cooking and provide the best caramelization without turning mushy.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent banana slices from sticking and breaking during the flipping process.
- Keep the heat at medium-high to achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior while maintaining a soft, creamy interior without burning the fruit.
- For a healthier version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use a sugar-free honey alternative or pure maple syrup to reduce overall sugar content.
