  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 15 min.

Ingredients

Scale

Gather these simple ingredients for your Fried Bananas:

  • 2 ripe bananas (firm, not overly ripe)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Honey, maple syrup, or powdered sugar for topping

Instructions

Prepare the Bananas

  1. Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into diagonal slices, about ½ inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
  2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Cook the Bananas

  1. Melt the Butter: Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.
  2. Add Sugar and Cinnamon: Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until combined. The mixture should become a syrupy consistency.
  3. Cook the Bananas: Place the banana slices in the skillet, ensuring they’re in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
  4. Flip Gently: Use a spatula to flip the bananas carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Add the Final Touches

  1. Drizzle Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract for a burst of flavor.
  2. Serve Hot: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
