Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 banana large
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Read the ingredient and recipe notes before beginning.
  • Slice the bananas into round coins about ½ inch thick. Set aside.
    1-2 banana
  • Add the salted butter, honey, and cinnamon to a medium skillet on medium heat. Whisk the ingredients together, letting them heat until fragrant and simmering.
    2 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon salted butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Add the bananas coins to the pan in a single layer. Let them cook in the bubbling honey butter mixture for about 3 minutes or until the bottoms look crunchy and golden brown.
  • Flip the bananas. Let them caramelize for another 3 minutes. Then remove from the heat and serve.

Notes

Bananas: Use bananas that are yellow with a slight green tint. Don't touch them while they're cooking.
Don't overcrowd the pan with banana slices. This will make them difficult to flip.
Keep a close eye on the bananas while they are cooking. Honey and butter burn quickly, so be cautious.
Refrigerator: Store the bananas and caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can reheat them or eat them straight out of the fridge cold.
Freezer: Freeze the leftover caramel sauce in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 1 month. Thaw the frozen caramel sauce by placing the bag or jar in a bowl of warm water until it loosens up.
