Ingredients
Bananas
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled
Sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 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 perfect caramelization.
- Prepare Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the honey, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- 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 all over, lowering the heat if they start to brown too quickly to avoid burning.
- Serve Warm: Remove the fried bananas from the skillet and serve them warm. They are delicious served over ice cream or as a topping for fluffy pancakes or waffles.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy during frying.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon to taste for a spicier or milder flavor.
- Lower the heat if the sauce starts to burn or stick to the pan.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine or coconut oil.
