Butter, for melting in pan
2 bananas
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup
vanilla ice cream (optional)
In medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Slice bananas evenly into 1/2-inch-thick coins. Once skillet is hot, add banana slices.
Sprinkle in cinnamon, pour in maple syrup and toss gently to coat both sides. Cook bananas 4 minutes on each side until caramelized. Remove from heat and serve over vanilla ice cream and/or over angel food or pound cake.
Tips: Be sure bananas are not overly ripe. Green tinge is preferred as bananas will hold up better to heat. Sugar burns quickly watch closely when caramelizing.
