These are great for breakfast over pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, oatmeal, etc. Or serve with low fat ice cream and toasted macadamia nuts for dessert. You can use regular tub margarine or butter in place of the cooking spray. However, this will double the cooking time, and make for a crunchier stickier outside to your banana.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2-3 bananas
4-6 tablespoons granulated sugar (or more)
cooking spray (regular or butter flavor)

Directions

1
Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
2
Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
3
Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
4
Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
5
Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
6
Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
7
Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.

Each to their own and all but I can't honestly understand what the previous reviewers didn't like about this recipe! If you like bananas then this is just fantastic - simple, tasty and surely at least a little healthy considering there's fruit involved! I coined my bananas and followed the directions as stated and came out with lovely, caramelised bananas that were sticky and crunchey on the outside and goey and soft on the inside. The closest thing I can equate these too is the caramel banana fritters you sometimes get in chinese restaurants, only these are without the batter. I ate mine for breakfast with crumpets and they were SO good. I will definitely have them again without a shadow of a doubt. Thanks for a great recipe Maito!

Made these this morning to go with french toast and they were excellent. However, I have to confess that I used 2 tablespoons of butter instead of the cooking spray. Worked great using the butter! Thanks for sharing!
