Simple and delicious, this recipe is a great way to use up those ripe bananas sitting on your counter. We love banana recipes around our house. A few of our other favorites are these easy banana bread muffins, banana pudding and banana cinnamon donut holes.
This was one of the first desserts I learned to make growing up. My parents would let me sprinkle the banana slices with the cinnamon and sugar and then I would scoop them out onto a big bowl of ice cream.

My favorite way to serve these is on top of vanilla ice cream. They would also be delicious served with a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream or even on top of pancakes or french toast, SO GOOD!!

Cooks tips
- I like using bananas that a little more firm so they don’t turn into mush. Using ones that are super ripe make it harder for them to maintain their shape.
- Don’t over crowd the pan with bananas.
- Try not to over sugar the top of the bananas or they might have a hard time cooking.
- Like desserts similar to this, be sure to check out these fried apples.
