Ingredients
- 4 pieces Underripe bananas (such as plantains)
- 0.5 cups Erythritol (granulated sugar substitute)
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Peel the underripe bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Insert a wooden skewer through each banana half to hold them securely.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the erythritol, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the skewered bananas to the pan. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown color.
Step 5
Sprinkle half of the erythritol mixture evenly over the bananas while they are in the pan. Flip them gently and sprinkle the remaining mixture on the other side.
Step 6
Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, allowing the erythritol to melt and form a caramel-like coating on the bananas.
Step 7
Remove the bananas from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve the low-carb bananaque warm on their skewers, and enjoy your healthier, low-carb treat!
