Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into half-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted.
Step 3
Add the banana slices in a single layer to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them, until they start to caramelize.
Step 4
Carefully flip the banana slices and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 5
Drizzle the maple syrup over the bananas and add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Gently stir the bananas to coat them evenly with the syrup and spices. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the caramelized bananas warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or your favorite dessert.
