Step-by-Step Instructions for Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas

Begin by peeling the two slightly overripe bananas and slicing them into rounds approximately ⅓ inch thick.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if you choose to use it). Stir until well mixed.
Lightly spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place it on the stove over medium-low heat. Allow to warm for about 2 minutes.
Once the skillet is ready, place the banana slices in a single layer in the pan. Let the bananas cook for about 2–3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the bananas while they’re still in the skillet. Allow to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
Gently flip the banana slices over and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over them. Cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Once the bananas are soft, golden, and beautifully caramelized, carefully remove them from the skillet. Serve immediately while warm.
