Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Peel and slice the banana into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves, forming a syrupy consistency.
Add the banana slices to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the butter-sugar mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the bananas are golden and caramelized.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the bananas and stir in the vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 30 seconds, then remove the skillet from heat.
Spoon the cottage cheese into a serving bowl or plate.
Top the cottage cheese with the warm caramelized bananas and drizzle the remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
For added texture and flavor, sprinkle with chopped pecans and drizzle with honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
