Fried Bananas (No Added Sugar)
Description
Fried Bananas (No Added Sugar) requires firm, medium-ripe bananas that hold shape when sliced. The bananas are cut into quarter-inch slices and dusted with cinnamon, which adds a warm, aromatic note. Cooking in virgin coconut oil or unsalted butter over medium heat creates a golden, caramelized surface on each slice after 2 to 3 minutes per side.
The result is soft but not mushy bananas with a gentle sweetness enhanced by the natural sugars activated through gentle frying. Serving is immediate to enjoy the texture and warmth. Optionally, after cooking, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup stirred into the pan juices can be added for extra sweetness and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated gently in the microwave at reduced power to prevent texture loss. Slightly under-ripe bananas are acceptable, but overly ripe bananas are unsuitable for this method as they become too soft.
Ingredients
- 2 banana medium, not too ripe
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil or unsalted butter
Instructions
- Slice the bananas into ¼-inch slices and sprinkle them with cinnamon.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add the coconut oil and swirl to coat.
- Add the banana slices in a single layer. Cook until golden, 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Divide into two plates, spooning any remaining coconut oil from the pan on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use medium-ripe but firm bananas to maintain slice integrity when frying; avoid overripe bananas.
- Leftover fried bananas can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days and reheated at 50% microwave power.
- For added sweetness, after cooking, stir honey or maple syrup into the pan juices and drizzle over the bananas.
