As I mentioned in some other posts too, I am not a big fan of cooked fruits. I prefer them raw and fresh. However, there is one exception to that - banana.
I love cooked banana more than eating it raw. One reason could be that it's not a juicy fruit so doesn't lose its freshness on getting cooked. The other reason is that it tastes sweeter when cooked.
That's the reason in most of the recipes where I have cooked fruit are banana desserts.
Today I am sharing a very simple pan-fried banana that needs only 4 basic ingredients and gets ready in under 15 minutes.
And, it's so easy to make that even kids can make it.
Ingredients required
Serving suggestions
You can enjoy these fried bananas a quick sweet snack or just serve with other desserts and breakfast dishes to make them tastier.
Some of my favorite ways of enjoying pan fried bananas are with:
- Ice cream
- Plain yogurt
- Whipped cream
- Pancakes
- French toast
- Oatmeal
- Chia pudding
Tips and Tricks
- Use ripe but firm bananas to make this dish. If you use an overripe banana, it will turn mushy.
- Vegans may replace butter with refined coconut oil, vegan butter, or a neutral-flavored oil.
- Instead of white sugar, coconut sugar, brown sugar, or honey can be used too.
- Nutmeg powder can also be added to this banana dessert.
- Fry the bananas on low flame otherwise the butter will get burnt and the caramel will turn very hard too.
- Flip the banana slices after 3-4 minutes only and handle gently.
