Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Start by slicing the bananas diagonally into 1-inch slices to create beautiful, uniform pieces.

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

      Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.

        Gently add the banana slices to the skillet, making sure each piece is coated with the cinnamon-butter mixture.

          Fry the bananas for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and caramelized. Be careful not to overcook them; you want them to be soft yet intact.

            If desired, drizzle honey over the bananas during the last minute of cooking for an extra layer of sweetness.

              Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the bananas to enhance the flavors.

                Serve immediately, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your warm, sweet pan-fried cinnamon bananas as a delightful dessert or breakfast treat!
