Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them crosswise into ½ inch rounds to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Heat Skillet and Combine Ingredients: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or heat the oil. Stir in the water, honey, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture combines and begins to simmer gently.
- Cook Bananas: Add the banana slices in a single layer to the skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping carefully with a spatula. Cook until the bananas are browned, golden, and caramelized on both sides. Adjust heat to prevent burning if they brown too quickly.
- Serve Warm: Remove the bananas from the skillet and serve them warm, drizzled with the flavorful pan juices for added sweetness and moisture.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushy texture.
- If bananas brown too fast, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
- For a vegan option, use oil instead of butter.
- Can be served as a dessert or atop pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal.
