  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2-4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 Bananas, cut into 1/2″ pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 Tablespoons raw honey, or regular honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cinnamon honey butter: In a frying pan over medium-high heat, combine the cinnamon, butter, and honey. Stir gently until the butter is fully melted and all ingredients are well combined into a smooth glaze.
  2. Cook banana slices (first side): Add the banana pieces to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 4 minutes without stirring until the bottoms begin to caramelize and turn a golden brown color. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  3. Flip and cook the other side: Carefully turn all the banana pieces over and cook for an additional 4 minutes until the other side is also golden brown and caramelized.
  4. Serve immediately: Remove the bananas from the pan and serve right away, ideal as a topping on ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or French toast for added warmth and sweetness.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to hold their shape during cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time if bananas are softer or if you prefer a deeper caramelization.
  • Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste; caramelized bananas become softer as they cool.
