If you’re looking for a quick and irresistible treat, these pan-fried cinnamon bananas are the answer! With just a few ingredients and a few minutes of cooking, you can transform ordinary bananas into a drool-worthy snack or dessert.
I love eating these bananas on their own, but they’re even better served over ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes. Their caramelized exterior and soft, sweet interior make them the perfect topping for any dessert, or even a decadent breakfast. Trust me, these will quickly become your new favorite way to enjoy bananas!
Why I Love These Pan-Fried Bananas
Bananas may seem like a simple fruit, but they often get overlooked—at least by me. I’m not the biggest fan of eating them raw, but I’ve recently discovered how amazing they are when cooked. When you heat bananas in a frying pan, they take on a rich sweetness and almost a tangy flavor that makes them taste so much better than when they’re fresh. Seriously, you’ve got to try it!
These pan-fried cinnamon bananas are incredibly easy to make and, I promise, they taste SO GOOD. Whether you add them to ice cream, pancakes, or eat them straight off the pan, they’re a sweet, cinnamon-kissed treat that’s hard to resist.
The Recipe You Need to Know
You’ll only need a few ingredients to make these pan-fried bananas:
- Bananas (just ripe, not overripe)
- Butter
- Cinnamon
- Honey (I prefer raw honey, but regular works too)
Start by heating honey, butter, and cinnamon in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the mixture is fully combined, add in banana slices. Cook them for about 4 minutes on one side until they caramelize and turn golden brown. Then flip them over and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side.
The result? Soft, sweet bananas on the inside and caramelized perfection on the outside.
Where to Serve These Delicious Bananas
There are so many ways to enjoy these pan-fried cinnamon bananas. I personally love them on their own, but here are some delicious options:
- Serve them over vanilla ice cream for a quick, indulgent dessert.
- Top them on yogurt for a sweet and satisfying snack.
- Add them to pancakes or French toast for a sweet twist on breakfast.
Whether you’re making them for a family treat or a cozy dessert after dinner, these pan-fried cinnamon bananas will not disappoint. They’re a family favorite in my house—and I’m sure they’ll become a regular in yours too!
