Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, sliced into diagonal pieces

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

1 tablespoon honey (optional for extra sweetness)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbling but not browned.

    Add the Slices: Carefully place the banana slices in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes undisturbed until they start to caramelize.

      Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon: After the first side is golden brown, sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt evenly over the bananas.

        Flip and Cook: Gently flip the banana slices using a spatula, ensuring they are coated with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is caramelized as well.

          Add Honey (Optional): If you prefer extra sweetness, drizzle the honey over the bananas and let it cook for another minute, allowing the honey to warm up and glaze the bananas.

            Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your warm cinnamon bananas on their own or serve over pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream!
