Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) honey
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp (0.6 ml) salt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
- Preparation: Slice ripe bananas into uniform half-inch medallions, maintaining structural integrity for consistent cooking.
