Fried Bananas With Brown Sugar
Quick and comforting fried bananas glazed in a honey–brown sugar syrup with cinnamon. Ready in about 10 minutes, this warm dessert is perfect on its own or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
Equipment
- nonstick skillet
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients and have a nonstick skillet ready.
- Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and add the oil or butter. Stir in the water, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until the sugar dissolves and a shiny syrup forms.
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the pan. Cook without moving them for 2 to 3 minutes so the undersides caramelize, then flip carefully and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until both sides are golden. Lower the heat if the syrup starts to darken too quickly to avoid burning.
- Transfer the warm bananas to plates and spoon the pan juices over the top. Serve immediately.
