Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into thick, diagonal slices about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
Lay the banana slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden brown, then gently flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Reduce the heat to low, drizzle the honey evenly over the bananas, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Add the vanilla extract by sprinkling it over the bananas and gently stir to coat the bananas evenly in the honey mixture (be gentle to avoid breaking the slices).
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the caramelized bananas to a serving plate.
Optionally, garnish with chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
Serve warm as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent dessert.
