This simple recipe for pan-fried cinnamon bananas is a delightful treat that brings warmth and comfort to any meal. Growing up in the Midwest, we often turned to this dish as a quick and satisfying way to use up ripe bananas. The combination of cinnamon and sugar creates a crispy, golden crust that makes these bananas irresistible. It’s a wonderful way to introduce a touch of sweetness to breakfast or dessert, and it’s sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
These pan-fried cinnamon bananas pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert or alongside a stack of fluffy pancakes for breakfast. You might also consider serving them with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. For a cozy brunch, they make a lovely topping for French toast or waffles, adding a bit of sweetness and spice to the meal.
