Skillet Green Bananas

- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 2
My Mama used to make these for sunday morning breakfast after church. I always loved the aroma of the bananas simmering on a buttery hot skillet, and knew her wheat germ flapjacks were close behind!
Ingredients
- 3 whole medium-green bananas (they hold up much better than ripe nanners) shopping list
- butter or margarine (butter is best for flavor) shopping list
- maple syrup (real or imitation, you choose) shopping list
- OPTIONAL: chopped, toasted pecans or other nuts; cinnamon or nutmeg shopping list
How to make it
- Heat skillet to a medium heat while you:
- Peel & slice bananas (either in circles or lengthwise)
- Put bits of butter in the heated pan, then place bananas in it.
- Let them simmer till lightly browned (they can suddenly start to burn, so keep the temp from getting too hot), then flip them over to cook the other side.
- By this time, they'll start to turn a bit translucent and get a bit mushy.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the bananas, let the syrup heat and immediately move them to a plate to cool off a bit. Syrup will be very hot, so be careful not to burn your tender little lips!
- Sprinkle spices and toasted pecans over the tops of them, serve on pancakes, waffles, french toast, oatmeal, or just eat them as is.
- You could also use your favorite jam instead of syrup, and it will be just as yummy.
