Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas (Printable)

Sweet caramelized bananas with warm cinnamon, pan-fried to golden perfection in just 13 minutes.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2 large ripe bananas

02 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

03 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar

04 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

05 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

02 - Combine ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl, stirring until evenly blended.

03 - Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until foamy and evenly distributed.

04 - Arrange banana slices in a single layer without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown develops on the underside.

05 - Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the bananas, then carefully flip each slice using a spatula.

07 - Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately while warm for best texture and flavor.

Ready in under fifteen minutes with ingredients you probably already have
Transforms ordinary bananas into something that feels like a restaurant dessert
The perfect balance of warm cinnamon and natural sweetness without being overpowering

02 -

Crowding the pan will lower the temperature and prevent proper caramelization. Work in two batches if needed
Resist the urge to flip the bananas too early. They need time to develop that golden crust on the first side

03 -

Keep your heat at medium. Higher heat will burn the sugar before the bananas cook through
A very ripe banana will almost melt in your mouth while a firmer one holds its shape better
