Ingredients

Scale

Banana Preparation

  • 2 bananas, cut into 1 inch thick coins

Caramelization

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Heat Butter: Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  2. Add Bananas and Sugar: Arrange the banana slices in the skillet without overlapping, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Gently toss or spread to coat each slice thoroughly.
  3. Cook Bananas: Let the bananas cook for about 4 minutes undisturbed, then carefully flip each slice and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides are caramelized and golden. Gently move the bananas occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Serve: Remove the caramelized bananas from heat and serve warm. They are delicious on their own or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow even caramelization.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
