Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the delicious Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas:
1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into thick slices, about 1-inch thick.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
3. Add Bananas: Carefully place the banana slices into the skillet in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan for even cooking.
4. Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon: After about 1 minute, sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over the bananas.
5. Fry the Bananas: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom side turns golden and caramelized. Gently flip the banana slices to the other side.
6. Finish Cooking: Allow the bananas to cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are beautifully caramelized.
7. Optional Enhancement: If desired, you can keep cooking for an additional minute for a crispier texture.
8. Remove from Heat: Once cooked to your liking, remove the pan from heat and let them cool for a moment.
This straightforward process will give you flavorful, caramelized bananas that everyone will love.
