Ingredients

1 tbsp honey maple syrup also works
1 tbsp water
1 tsp brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
½ tbsp butter
1 large banana slightly under-ripe, peeled, cut into ¾" slices

Instructions

Melt butter in a small pan over medium-high heat. Place banana slices in the pan in a single layer; cook for 1-2 minutes per side, undisturbed, until a golden crust forms (keep an eye on them and adjust the heat if they brown too quickly.)
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, water, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Remove pan from heat and pour honey mixture over the banana slices. Allow to cool slightly.
Eat on its own or serve over ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, crepes, or pancakes!
