10-Min Sweet Caramelized Bananas

Caramelized Bananas are so sweet and simple to make in under 10 minutes! Once you make these fried bananas, you’ll put them on everything!

Prep: 2 minCook: 6 minTotal: 8 min
Servings: serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar (honey or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Cut the bananas in 1/2 inch rounds.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
  3. Add the banana rounds to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Flip the bananas and cook for another 2 – 3 minutes. I found it easiest to use a butter knife to slide under the bananas and flip them with the knife and my finger. Tongs were frustrating to use because they never flipped the bananas and a spatula was a little too rough and messed up my beautiful caramelized bananas. Gentle butter knife is where it’s at 🙂
  5. Toward the end of cooking, drizzle with agave nectar and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  6. Once they’re golden brown and caramelized on both sides, remove from the heat and serve!
