There were 4 very overripe bananas sitting on my kitchen counter when I finally had time to take a breath and spend some time at home this weekend. At first, I was going to make banana bread out of them, but having just made zucchini bread, I kind of wanted something different. H suggested caramelized bananas, so I thought, why not? It's easy to make, delicious, and I had vanilla ice cream in the freezer. Perfect! Of course, being the only one home at the moment, meant I couldn't make all 4 of the bananas into caramelized bananas...just half of one :( The rest got chopped into large bite-sized pieces to be made into chocolate covered banana discs later :D
Caramelized Bananas
Bananas
Sugar
Butter
Cinnamon
1. Cut bananas into 1/4 inch discs
2. Coat bananas in sugar
3. Melt a pat of butter in a pan, enough to cover the bottom
4. Place bananas in pan with one side down, in one layer. Fry for 3-5 minutes over medium heat, until the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Flip bananas over and let the other side brown for about one minute.
6. Turn heat off and sprinkle cinnamon over bananas and mix slightly to distribute the cinnamon.
7. Serve over ice cream and enjoy!
This banana looks delicious...but you need to post more!! I just made banana cream mini cheesecakes (also inspired by rotting-I mean, ripe--bananas on my counter) and hope to post them soon. They are sooo heavenly! Hope you're well!
