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
- Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into diagonal slices, about ½ inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the Bananas
- Melt the Butter: Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.
- Add Sugar and Cinnamon: Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until combined. The mixture should become a syrupy consistency.
- 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.
- 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
- Drizzle Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract for a burst of flavor.
- Serve Hot: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
