  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling your ripe bananas. Cut them into slices about 1/2 inch thick.

Cooking

  3. Once the bananas are golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes), sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture over them.
  4. Carefully flip the banana slices using a spatula. Let them cook for another 2 minutes.
