Instructions

Preparation

Slice the bananas lengthwise, but not all the way through; leave them slightly attached at the bottom to create a “book” effect.

Caramelization

Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir for a few seconds until the sugar begins to melt and create a light caramel.

Frying the Bananas

Add the sliced bananas and desiccated coconut to the pan. Gently fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bananas are golden brown and slightly caramelized. Be careful not to burn the sugar.

Serving

Serve the fried bananas immediately. For an extra decadent treat, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Fried Bananas

Use ripe but firm bananas for the best results. Overripe bananas will be too mushy.
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your liking. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount.
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter.
Experiment with other spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to create your own unique flavor combinations.
