01 -

The way the brown sugar melts into a sticky caramel coating while the bananas turn custard-soft inside is pure magic
It transforms ordinary fruit into something that tastes like it came from a restaurant dessert menu

02 -

Don't crowd your pan or the bananas will steam instead of fry work in batches if necessary
The sugar can burn quickly so keep your heat at medium and watch closely after adding the coating

03 -

Pat your banana slices dry with a paper towel before cooking if they're especially ripe
Coconut oil adds a subtle tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with the cinnamon
