Ingredients

3 medium bananas (or 2 large) ripe but firm
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅙ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
1 tablespoon rum (optional)
Toasted coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

Start by peeling firm ripe bananas and cut them into about ½-inch thick slices or desired shapes.
Heat up the skillet over medium heat. Add butter, sugar, and cinnamon, and let the butter melt.
As soon as the butter melts, add bananas in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Then flip and cook for about another minute.
Remove the pan from the heat before adding the rum. Be careful because it might flare.
Put the pan back on the heat and cook for another minute.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with caramel sauce, ice cream, and/or coconut flakes.

Notes

You can replace sugar with honey for a healthier take on these fried bananas.
Use bourbon instead of rum.
