To quote a friend: I do not eat desserts. Except when I do. Accurate. Perhaps too accurate. In my never-eat-dessert-unless-it-is-my-birthday world, I have been eating these for “dessert” every night all week. The only ingredients are banana, honey, olive oil, and cinnamon. All health beneficial and crispy-yummy.

They are amazing by themselves, but also give a nice upgrade sprinkled on things like french toast and pancakes, a peanut butter and banana sandwich, or ice cream.

Serves about 12 fried banana slices

1 tablespoon coconut oil (olive oil works too!)
1 slightly under-ripened banana
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice banana into about 1/4 inch thick slices.

Fry bananas for 2 minutes on each side, occasionally lifting to prevent sticking.

Whisk together honey and water. Remove pan from heat and pour honey and water over bananas.

Top with cinnamon.
