Instructions:
Prepare the bananas:
Peel and mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. A few small chunks are fine if you like a bit of texture.
Mix the wet ingredients:
To the mashed bananas, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Combine dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
Enhance with extras:
If you’re using chopped nuts, fold them into the batter. They add a delightful crunch and pair wonderfully with the sweetness of the bananas.
Cook the sweet:
Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it out slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Serve:
Let the banana sweet cool slightly before serving. You can drizzle it with honey, maple syrup, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Tips for Success:
Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana sweet will be.
Customize flavors: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg, a splash of rum extract, or a handful of chocolate chips for a twist.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or pan before serving.
