Notes

  • This recipe is not suitable for overripe bananas. It requires ripe yet firm bananas. It's OK to use slightly under-ripe bananas. 
  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat them in the microwave, covered, at 50% power.
  • If you'd like to sweeten the bananas, cook them, remove them to a plate, and add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the pan. Swirl the pan to mix the sweetener into the pan juices, then drizzle the juices on top of the bananas.
  • This is not a low-carb recipe.
