03 - Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until foamy and evenly distributed.

04 - Arrange banana slices in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.

05 - Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the bananas. Gently flip each slice.

01 -

Transforms overlooked bananas into something that feels like dessert from a restaurant
Takes less than fifteen minutes from counter to plate with almost zero cleanup

02 -

Medium heat is higher than you think so if the butter starts smoking or turning brown immediately lower the temperature
The bananas continue cooking slightly after you remove them from the pan so take them off when they look almost done

03 -

Use a truly nonstick pan or a well seasoned cast iron skillet because the sugar will stick to stainless steel
Have your plates ready before you start because these need to be served warm for the best experience
