#Ingredients
Ingredients You'll Need you need just two main ingredients, and optional toppings for added flavor:
1 ripe banana (cut into rounds)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Add-ons:
A drizzle of honey or maple syrup (for added sweetness)
A dash of chia seeds or flaxseeds (for fiber)
A small handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans, for crunch)
A scoop of Greek yogurt — for protein.
#Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Pick the Right Banana
Use the ripest banana you can find — a little bit of brown spots. It will be sweeter by nature and soft, creamy in texture.
Step 2: Slice the Banana
With a sharp knife, cut the banana into thin rounds (about ¼ inch thick). If you like chunkier pieces, you can cut them a little thicker.
Step 3: Sprinkle Cinnamon
Arrange the banana slices on a plate and dust with ground cinnamon. Add a little extra if you’re a cinnamon lover!
Step 4: Serve as Is or Customize
You can eat the banana slices with cinnamon just like this, or try these creative variations:
Pan-Fried Bananas – Low-heat pan, add banana slices, sprinkle cinnamon, cook 1-2 minutes for each side. It caramelizes the bananas and makes it even tastier!
Banana Cinnamon Toast — Spread all-natural peanut butter on whole wheat toast, and top with banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Banana & Yogurt Bowl – Combine banana pieces with Greek yogurt, a splash of honey, and a handful of granola for a satisfying snack.
#Best Banana-Cinnamon Recipe Tips
Use ripe bananas –The riper the banana, the sweeter a dish you’ll get, and the more flavor it’ll have.
Don’t use too much cinnamon — A light sprinkle adds to the flavor without dominating it.
Play around with toppings — Nuts, seeds, yogurt or a drizzle of honey can elevate this dish to the next level.
Turn it into a warm dessert — I’ve sautéed the banana slices in coconut oil for a warm, caramelized treat.
