Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, halved crosswise then split lengthwise into quarters
  • ½ tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar ½-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste

Method

  1. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
  2. Add honey or brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine with the butter.
  3. Add the bananas and cook, gently flipping every 1-2 minutes until they are softened and coated with the butter-sugar mixture, about 4-5 minutes in total.
  4. Serve warm.

Use firm but ripe bananas. Overripe bananas may turn to mush when cooking over heat.
