Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced (about 1/2 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (like Swerve or erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the butter or coconut oil over medium heat until melted.
- Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook the bananas for about 2-3 minutes on each side, gently flipping them, until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let cool for a minute before serving.
- Enjoy warm as is, or serve over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles for extra sweetness!
Tips for Success
- Make sure the bananas are ripe for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning the sugar; you want the bananas to caramelize, not burn!
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a day, though they are best enjoyed fresh!
