Honey Fried Bananas

a simple dessert with a little flair

10 minutes total / 1 serving per banana


I grabbed this online when I wanted to make a simple honey and banana recipe.  I added a pat of butter, and the lemon mentioned at the end is great.  Jen and I had it over vanilla ice cream and would recommend it.

Introduction

This is something that you’ll occasionally see in southern cookbooks; this is my own variation on the topic, so experiment as you see fit.

Ingredients

1 banana, chopped into rounds
2 tbsp honey (enough to drizzle across a frying pan)
1 tsp cinammon (optional)
2 tsp lemon juice (optional)
1/2 tbsp butter (optional)

Directions

Heat the honey in the pan until it is thinned and runs like oil; make sure the molten honey covers most of the pan base.

Toss in the chopped bananas and heat on medium (to avoid burning the honey) for 5 minutes; flip/rotate the banana pieces and continue heating for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat; optionally, sprinkle a little cinnamon and lemon juice over them (the lemon juice really gives it a nice kick, I strongly recommend it).
