Story

This speedy breakfast comes together in under 15 minutes and delivers that perfect balance of buttery sweetness. The secret is watching the sugar closely as it transforms into a deep amber caramel—remove it from heat the moment it reaches that rich color to avoid any bitterness.

Ingredients

ripe bananas 2 large

butter 2 tablespoons

granulated sugar 3 tablespoons

thick-cut bread slices 2 slices

ground cinnamon pinch, optional

Instructions

Slice the bananas

Cut the bananas diagonally into thick rounds, about ½ inch thick. Set aside.

Caramelize the bananas

Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add banana slices in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they turn golden. Sprinkle the sugar over the top, then continue cooking while watching carefully as the sugar melts and transforms into a rich amber sauce. Remove from heat immediately once it reaches that deep color.

Assemble and serve

While the bananas are still hot and glossy with caramel, spoon them over warm toast slices. Drizzle any leftover caramel from the pan on top, add a pinch of cinnamon if you like, and serve right away.
