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.
