Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium unripe green banana
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Peel the unripe green banana and slice it into 1/4-inch thick coins. Using an unripe banana ensures lower sugar content, making it keto-friendly.
In a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to bubble.
Once the butter is melted, add the powdered erythritol sweetener to the skillet and stir until it is fully dissolved.
Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Carefully flip the banana slices using a spatula, and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until they become caramelized and tender.
Lower the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Gently stir the mixture to ensure the banana slices are coated evenly with the sauce.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. These Keto Caramelized Bananas are perfect as a topping or a sweet snack on their own.
