Description

This quick fried banana with brown sugar recipe delivers caramelized, sweet bananas in minutes—perfect as a snack, dessert topping, or treat on its own.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
  2. Add brown sugar, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and mixture is syrupy.
  3. Gently add banana slices in a single layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and caramelized.
  4. Remove from heat and serve immediately, plain or over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Notes

  • Use firm-ripe bananas to avoid mushiness.
  • Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or rum for extra depth of flavor.
  • Best enjoyed warm, straight from the skillet.
  • Double the recipe for more servings or to use as a dessert topping.
