Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into approximately 1/4-inch thick diagonal coins.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
Place the banana slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until they start to turn golden brown and caramelize.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the bananas while they are cooking.
Once both sides of the banana slices are caramelized, drizzle honey and vanilla extract over the top, and gently shake the skillet to coat the bananas evenly.
Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld together, then add a pinch of sea salt.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the bananas cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as topping for paleo pancakes, inside crepes, or simply on their own for a delicious paleo dessert.
