Ingredients
- 2 medium Bananas
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a non-stick skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and hot.
Step 3
Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes without moving them to allow the bottom to caramelize and turn golden brown.
Step 4
Gently flip the banana slices using a spatula, and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden.
Step 5
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the bananas and toss them gently to coat evenly.
Step 6
Add the unsweetened coconut milk and vanilla extract to the skillet, stirring gently to combine the sauce with the bananas.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the bananas.
Step 8
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the caramelized bananas to enhance the sweetness.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or enjoy on their own.
