Sweet, golden banana slices caramelized with cinnamon and brown sugar—a quick 13-minute treat for breakfast or dessert.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 large ripe bananas

02 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

03 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar

04 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil

05 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

02 - Combine ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl until evenly blended.

03 - Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until foamy and fully melted.

04 - Arrange banana slices in a single layer. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown forms on the bottom.

05 - Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture over bananas. Gently flip each slice.

06 - Sprinkle remaining cinnamon-sugar on top. Cook 2-3 minutes until caramelized and tender.

07 - Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

01 -

It comes together in under fifteen minutes but tastes like something from a restaurant dessert menu
The way the cinnamon and brown sugar melt into a sticky glaze feels absolutely luxurious without any actual effort
These bananas work over ice cream on toast or straight off the spoon standing at the counter

02 -

Do not stir the bananas around the pan let them sit undisturbed so they develop proper caramelization
The second side cooks faster than the first so watch closely after you flip them
These are best served immediately while still warm and slightly gooey

03 -

Use a nonstick skillet if possible the sugar mixture can get sticky and is harder to clean off stainless steel
Have your plates ready before you start cooking these disappear fast when they hit the table
