Ingredients
- 8 pieces ripe saba bananas
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe saba bananas and set them aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a large frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until fully melted and hot.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 4
Carefully add the bananas to the hot oil, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the pan.
Step 5
Fry the bananas for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they begin to turn golden brown.
Step 6
After both sides are golden, sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the bananas while still in the pan.
Step 7
Gently shake the pan to ensure the cinnamon mixture coats the bananas evenly.
Step 8
Continue cooking the bananas for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bananas to caramelize slightly.
Step 9
Remove the bananas from the pan and drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 10
Once the bananas cool slightly, skewer them with wooden sticks for easy serving.
Step 11
Serve warm as a delightful, sugar-free snack or dessert. Enjoy!
