Caramelized Banana Toast

Story

This quick breakfast combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with buttery caramel flavors. The key is to cook the sugar until it turns a deep amber color without burning it.

Ingredients

ripe bananas 2 large
butter 2 tablespoons
granulated sugar 3 tablespoons
thick-cut bread slices 2 slices
pinch of cinnamon optional

Instructions

1

Prepare the bananas

Cut the bananas into thick diagonal slices about half an inch thick. Set aside.

2

Caramelize in the pan

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the banana slices in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they develop golden edges. Sprinkle the sugar over the bananas and continue cooking. Watch closely as the sugar melts and turns a rich amber color, then remove from heat immediately.

3

Assemble the toast

While the bananas are still hot and glistening with caramel, spoon them directly onto slices of warm toast. Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce from the pan over the top. Add a pinch of cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
