Cinnamon pan-fried bananas are a delightful treat that combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the warm flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. This simple and quick recipe makes for a perfect dessert or snack that's sure to impress.
Instructions:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, lightly coat it with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Place the banana slices in the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. You might need to do this in batches if your skillet isn’t big enough.
- Sprinkle half of the sugar and spice mixture evenly over the banana slices.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bananas start to caramelize and turn golden brown.
- Carefully flip each banana slice using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar and spice mixture over the flipped slices.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is also caramelized and golden brown.
- Remove the pan-fried bananas from the skillet and place them on a plate.
- Serve immediately while they are warm.
Tips:
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a small pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness of the bananas.
- If you prefer a richer taste, substitute the cooking spray with a small amount of butter.
- To ensure even cooking, use bananas that are ripe but still firm to prevent them from becoming too mushy during frying.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and spices to suit your taste preferences.
Cinnamon pan-fried bananas are quick to make but they pack a punch in terms of flavor. They can be enjoyed on their own, or served over pancakes, waffles, or even ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy this delicious snack with the cozy warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg.
