Fried Bananas with Cinnamon Honey Sauce
Description
This recipe uses ripe but firm bananas sliced into half-inch pieces and pan-fried in a skillet with a sauce made from butter, honey, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. The mixture caramelizes the bananas gently, giving them a golden color and a sweet-spiced flavor that complements their natural fruitiness. Cooking time is short to maintain their shape and avoid mushiness.
The fried bananas can be served warm atop creamy vanilla ice cream, as a topping for fluffy pancakes, or alongside waffles, adding a warm fruity layer and gentle cinnamon spice to these dishes.
Choosing bananas that are ripe but not overripe is essential for texture; green or mushy bananas are not recommended because they either lack sweetness or soften excessively during cooking. Frozen, thawed bananas are also unsuitable for this recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 banana peeled, ripe
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cut the bananas into 1/2" inch thick slices.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt to combine.
- Add the banana slices, and pan fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and caramelized all over. Lower heat if they brown too quickly.
- Serve warm over ice cream or on top of fluffy pancakes or waffles.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape during frying.
- Avoid green or mushy bananas and do not use thawed frozen bananas for best texture.
