Ingredients

4 pieces Saba bananas
2 tablespoons Coconut oil
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Saba bananas and slice each banana into quarter-inch thick diagonal slices.

Step 2

In a non-stick frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the sliced bananas in a single layer. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Flip them carefully using a spatula to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 4

In a separate small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and allow the mixture to blend well, forming a light caramel sauce. If desired, add optional cinnamon for extra flavor.

Step 5

Remove the bananas from the frying pan and drain any excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the fried bananas.

Step 7

Serve hot as a delightful snack or dessert. Enjoy!
