Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 6 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas and set them aside. Ensure they are fully ripe for optimal sweetness.
Carefully skewer each banana onto a wooden skewer lengthwise. Be gentle to avoid breaking the bananas.
In a large, non-stick frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the sugar begins to melt and caramelize.
Add the skewered bananas to the pan. Coat each banana skewer with the caramelized sugar by turning them carefully in the pan.
Sprinkle cinnamon powder evenly over the bananas while they cook.
Continue cooking until the sugar is deeply caramelized and the bananas are thoroughly coated, about 10-12 minutes.
Remove the skewers from the pan and place on a plate lined with parchment paper to cool slightly.
Serve warm as a delightful, low sodium snack.
