Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas

This dessert is not only quick to prepare but also a crowd-pleaser!

  • Total Time: 11 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Skillet: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Combine Sugar and Spice: Add brown sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter. Stir them together until they're well combined.
  3. Fry the Bananas: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and caramelized.
  4. Enhance with Vanilla: Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the vanilla extract to coat the bananas evenly.
  5. Serve with Style: Dish out the warm bananas immediately. They're fantastic on their own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
