Fried Bananas, Batman!



So I'm trying to write more posts more often...so this morning, I decided to make fried bananas for breakfast. I don't really like bananas but fried anything is amazing! It was really easy, required very few ingredients and turned out delicious!






I fried the bananas on each side for about a minute in coconut oil for added flavor. Besides adding a delicious coconuty flavor, coconut oil has the good kind of fat and has also been known to stave off infections and heart disease. I highly recommend substituting coconut oil for butter or vegetable/canola oil when frying sweet things.








The banana slices cook very quickly so you need to make sure that you watch them the entire time. If you cook them too long, the sugar in the bananas breaks down from the heat and they can burn very easily.










After the banana slices cooked on both sides, I poured a small amount of honey mixed with a little hot water over them and then sprinkled with ground cinnamon. You don't need a lot of the honey because they are already very sweet.




Let them cool for a couple minutes before eating because they will be very hot. I kind of wish these weren't so easy to make because now I think I'll make them all the time...

I'm gonna put a shortened version of this recipe down below :)
