20g
1 tsp cinnamon
2.60g

Instructions:

2. Heat the Coconut Oil:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

- Let the banana slices cook for about 2 minutes on one side until they start to turn golden brown.
- Carefully flip each slice over using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. The banana slices should be golden brown and slightly caramelized.
4. Add Honey and Cinnamon:
- Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of honey over the banana slices in the pan. Stir gently to ensure all the slices are coated evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the bananas while they are still in the pan. Stir again gently to distribute the cinnamon evenly over the bananas.
5. Serve:

- Carefully transfer the banana slices to a serving plate.
6. Optional Serving Suggestions:
- These cinnamon-honey fried bananas can be enjoyed as is or served over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or even ice cream for a delicious treat.

Tips:

- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy during cooking.

- Experiment with different spices such as nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.

- Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the flavors.
