Ingredients
- bamboo skewers
- 12 Thai bananas see notes
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup palm sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 Pandan leaves optional, tied in a knot
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 cup coconut milk
Instructions
- Cut each banana into bite-sized pieces and thread them onto skewers.
- Grill the banana skewers on low heat. Keep turning them so they cook evenly, until they’re slightly firm outside but soft inside. This should take around 10–15 minutes.
- While the bananas are grilling, you can make the sauce. Start by melting butter in a small pot or saucepan over medium heat.
- Once the butter melts, add in all the other sauce ingredients: palm sugar, white sugar, pandan leaves, salt, and coconut milk.
- Stir the sauce regularly while it cooks. Once it thickens to your liking, take it off the heat. Remember, it will thicken a bit more as it cools. I prefer mine on the runnier side, not too thick. Serve it warm and enjoy!

Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Bananas - Opt for Thai bananas that are just starting to ripen - firm enough to hold up on the grill, yet ripe enough to offer sweetness. If you can't find Thai bananas, you can use other types.
