Ingredients
2 bananas (slightly overripe)
2 tablespoons sugar (or substitute)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
-
Slice the Bananas: Slice the bananas into rounds, approximately ⅓ inch thick.
-
Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Set aside.
-
Pan Fry the Bananas: Lightly spray a large skillet with nonstick oil spray and warm it over medium-low heat. Add the banana slices to the skillet.
-
Add the Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the banana slices. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bananas begin to soften and caramelize.
-
Flip and Cook: Flip the banana slices over and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mixture on top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bananas are soft, golden, and warmed through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pan-fried cinnamon bananas on their own, or sprinkle with powdered sugar, top with vanilla ice cream, or drizzle with chocolate syrup for a decadent treat.
Notes
Healthy Version: Use coconut sugar or honey instead of granulated sugar for a more natural sweetness.
Nutty Crunch: Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) to the bananas while cooking for a nice crunch.
Vanilla Twist: Add a drop of vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture for extra flavor.
