Peel and mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the mashed bananas while mixing. Slowly stir in the milk to form a thick, sticky dough.
Add the melted butter into the dough and mix well to combine.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer.
Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the dough and carefully drop them into the simmering water.
Let the dumplings cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings and set them on a plate.
Drizzle the dumplings with honey or maple syrup and sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon on top before serving.
