Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas

These pan fried cinnamon bananas are soooooo good! They only take a few minutes to make and they transform boring old bananas into a drool-worthy snack or dessert. I eat my pan fried bananas all on their own, but they would taste amazing (seriously AMAZING) served over ice cream. Or you could eat them with yogurt. Or even on french toast or pancakes. They’re caramelized on the outside with a soft and sweet inside and make a great dessert topping. Yum!

My family goes bananas for bananas. (Sorry, I had to do it…). It shocks me how many bananas we go through in our house. Bananas might be one of the most boring foods out there… in my opinion anyway. But they are one of those foods that everyone will eat. Not everyone necessarily loves them, but pretty much everyone in our house will eat a banana without complaining.

I’ll be the first person to admit that I’m not the biggest banana fan, or at least not the biggest raw banana fan. Sure, I’ll eat them cut up in my bowl of Cheerios, or along with a spoonful of peanut butter when I need to curb my appetite. But I don’t usually look at the bananas sitting in our fruit bowl on the counter and think to myself, “Mmmmm… bananas”. (But that’s probably because I’m already heading towards the cookies… I really need to work on that…)

I think I need to change the way I think about bananas, because do you know what I DO love? Cooked bananas. Man oh man, I’m not sure what happens to bananas when they get heated up, but WOW, they start to taste sooooo good! Once they hit the frying pan they go from a “Meh” fruit to an “Ohhhhhh, yes!” dessert. They get super sweet, and almost tangy. From boring to amazing in just a few minutes!



Ingredients

  • 2 Bananas, cut into ½" pieces
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 Tablespoons raw honey (or regular honey)

Instructions

  • Combine the cinnamon, butter and honey in a frying pan over medium-high heat until melted and combined.
  • Add the banana slices and cook for 4 minutes until the bottoms start to caramelize and turn golden brown. Adjust the temperature and cooking time as needed so that they don't burn.
