The rich flavor of coconut combined with the sweetness of bananas and a hint of brown sugar will surely satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup dried coconut meat
50g
3 bananas
360g
1 tbsp butter
16g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into even rounds or lengthwise, based on your preference.
- Measure out the dried coconut meat.
2. Toast the Coconut:
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the dried coconut meat to the skillet.
- Continuously stir the coconut for 2-3 minutes or until it turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
- Once toasted, transfer the coconut to a bowl and set it aside.
3. Cook the Bananas:
- In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat.
- Add the banana slices to the skillet.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bananas.
- Cook the bananas for about 3-5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and caramelized.
4. Combine and Serve:
- Once the bananas are caramelized, turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the bananas in the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly.
- Serve the warm coconut bananas immediately, either on their own or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or oatmeal.

Tips:

- Opt for ripe bananas: Using ripe bananas will provide a natural sweetness and softer texture, making the dessert even more enjoyable.

- Toast the coconut: Lightly toasting the dried coconut meat in a dry skillet before adding it to the recipe can enhance its flavor and add a bit of crunch.

- Experiment with spices: Feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor.

- Serve immediately: Warm coconut bananas are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Serve them immediately for the best taste and texture.
