Caramelized Bananas

Ingredients:

  • Butter, for melting in pan
  • 2 bananas
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions:

In medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Slice bananas evenly into 1/2-inch-thick coins. Once skillet is hot, add banana slices.

Sprinkle in cinnamon, pour in maple syrup and toss gently to coat both sides. Cook bananas 4 minutes on each side until caramelized. Remove from heat and serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Tips: Be sure bananas are not overly ripe. Green tinge is preferred as bananas will hold up better to heat. Sugar burns quickly watch closely when caramelizing.
