Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into approximately 1/4-inch thick diagonal coins.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
Step 3
Place the banana slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until they start to turn golden brown and caramelize.
Step 4
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the bananas while they are cooking.
Step 5
Once both sides of the banana slices are caramelized, drizzle honey and vanilla extract over the top, and gently shake the skillet to coat the bananas evenly.
Step 6
Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld together, then add a pinch of sea salt.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the bananas cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as topping for paleo pancakes, inside crepes, or simply on their own for a delicious paleo dessert.
