These fried cinnamon sugar bananas are warm, buttery, caramelized, and incredibly easy to make in just minutes. With crispy golden edges and a soft sweet center, this quick dessert tastes amazing on its own or served over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or French toast.

Why This Works:

The butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon melt together into a rich caramel-like coating that transforms simple bananas into an easy dessert with big flavor and almost no prep.

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas, sliced long ways
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Nonstick skillet
• Spatula
• Knife

Prep:

1. Slice bananas lengthwise
2. Mix cinnamon and brown sugar together in a small bowl

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Notes:
