Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 Small Bananas (just ripe)
- 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Slice the bananas into even 1/2 inch slices, cutting straight rather than at an angle. Discard the end pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- Prepare Cinnamon Honey Butter: In a medium skillet, combine the unsalted butter, honey, and cinnamon. Melt over medium to low heat, stirring occasionally to blend the ingredients and prevent burning.
- Cook Bananas: When the butter mixture is warm and beginning to bubble, add the banana slices to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until they become caramelized on one side.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the bananas and continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the bananas to caramelize evenly without burning.
- Serve Warm: Remove the caramelized bananas from the pan and serve them warm to enjoy their soft texture and beautiful glaze.
Notes
- Use just ripe bananas for the best balance of sweetness and firmness.
- Be gentle when flipping the bananas to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Adjust the cinnamon quantity to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder spice flavor.
- This dish is best served immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
- For a richer taste, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the butter mixture.
