EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS



Easy Caramelized Bananas image

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.

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

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

Steps:

  • Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
  • Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
  • Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
  • 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.
  • Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
  • 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.
  • Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.

CARAMELIZED BANANAS



Caramelized Bananas image

The faint flavor of smoke and caramelized brown sugar do exquisite things to a banana. A drizzling of rum or liqueur gives this simple dessert "gourmet" status. Tips for success: Choose firm, just-ripe bananas so they don't fall apart, cut the bananas as instructed for ease of handling, and use a clean grill rack or a fresh piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to cover the grill.

CARAMELISED BANANAS

This is a delicious and impressive dessert however, a little care must be taken when making this dish as you are working with very hot sugar, but the results are well worth the effort.

Provided by easterrecipes1

Time 25m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 Bananas (skinned and sliced once length ways)
100g caster sugar
1 Vanilla pod
50g Kerrygold Butter (Softer)
4 Vanilla Sponge slices
4 tbsp Greek yoghurt

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan, heat the sugar over a moderate heat, after about 1-2 minutes the sugar will start to caramelise around the edges of the pan. Stir the sugar with a wooden spoon until the sugar has changed to a golden amber colour, continue cooking but be careful not to burn.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Kerrygold butter, vanilla seeds and 2 tbsp of cold water, to stop it cooking any further.
  • Add the bananas cut side down and return to the heat; cook for 1-2 minutes and then turn over, the bananas should have taken on the caramel colour.
  • Place the slices of vanilla sponge in the middle of the plates, pile 2 halves of bananas on top of the sponge and pour over the caramel sauce so it soaks into the sponge and add a scoop the Greek yoghurt
  • Quick Tip: To melt the butter faster use Kerrygold Softer Butter which is soft straight from the fridge and without the addition of vegetable oil.
