Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Underripe bananas (such as plantains)
- 0.5 cups Erythritol (granulated sugar substitute)
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Peel the underripe bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Insert a wooden skewer through each banana half to hold them securely.
In a small bowl, mix together the erythritol, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the skewered bananas to the pan. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown color.
Sprinkle half of the erythritol mixture evenly over the bananas while they are in the pan. Flip them gently and sprinkle the remaining mixture on the other side.
Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, allowing the erythritol to melt and form a caramel-like coating on the bananas.
Remove the bananas from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the low-carb bananaque warm on their skewers, and enjoy your healthier, low-carb treat!
