The way natural banana sweetness meets warm cinnamon creates something that tastes like comfort itself
Ready in under 15 minutes but fancy enough to serve when friends drop by unexpectedly
Uses ingredients you already have in the pantry for those impromptu dessert cravings

02 -

Crowding the pan will steam the bananas instead of caramelizing them work in batches if needed
Do not use green bananas they will never develop that melt in your mouth texture no matter how long you cook them
The sugar burns quickly so keep your heat at medium and watch closely after adding the cinnamon mixture

03 -

Use a nonstick skillet for easy release the sugar glaze can be stubborn on stainless steel
Have your plates ready before you start cooking these are best served immediately while still warm
