CARAMELIZED BANANAS WITH PECAN-COCONUT CRUNCH



Caramelized Bananas With Pecan-Coconut Crunch image

This cozy dessert comes together quickly and fills the kitchen with a sweet, buttery aroma. The textures play well together: The spiced caramel is silky but robust, the bananas tender, and the pecan-and-coconut topping crunchy and crisp. Pick ripe but firm bananas so they'll maintain their shape after cooking. (The bananas should be yellow with no black spots; green bananas won't work.) Broil them until sizzling, then allow the bubbling caramel to cool and thicken a bit before serving. Devoured directly out of the skillet, or spooned into individual servings, these caramelized bananas are a lovely way to end a meal. Top with a scoop of ice cream for a cool contrast to the warm dessert.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/50 grams shelled pecans, chopped
1/4 cup/35 grams raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup/20 grams rolled oats
1/4 cup/20 grams large coconut chips or flakes
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds or any other small seed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/85 grams dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of black pepper
4 to 5 ripe but firm bananas (about 1 3/4 pounds/795 grams), peeled and halved lengthwise
Ice cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the crunchy topping: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium until melted and foamy, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon honey and the salt; using a spatula, stir to combine. Add the pecans, pumpkin seeds, oats and coconut and stir to coat. Toast, stirring frequently, until the mixture is golden brown, about 8 minutes, lowering the heat as necessary to keep the mixture from burning. Stir in the sesame seeds and remove from heat. Move to a shallow bowl and set aside to cool. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups.)
  • Prepare the bananas: Set the oven to broil. Wipe out the skillet and add the brown sugar, heavy cream, nutmeg, pepper, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon honey. Stir ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and place the bananas in the pan, cut-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the top to coat the slices. Move the pan to the oven and broil until the caramel sauce is hot and bubbly and the bananas are tender, deep golden and slightly charred in spots, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes.
  • Spoon a large helping of the ice cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche over the warm bananas, then scatter the pecan-coconut crunch over the top. Divide among individual plates or eat directly from the skillet.

EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS



Easy Caramelized Bananas image

These are great for breakfast over pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, oatmeal, etc. Or serve with low fat ice cream and toasted macadamia nuts for dessert. You can use regular tub margarine or butter in place of the cooking spray. However, this will double the cooking time, and make for a crunchier stickier outside to your banana.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 -3 bananas
4 -6 tablespoons granulated sugar (or more)
cooking spray (regular or butter flavor)

Steps:

  • Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
  • Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
  • Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
  • Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
  • Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
  • Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
  • Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.

FRIED CARAMELIZED BANANAS WITH ICE CREAM



Fried Caramelized Bananas with Ice Cream image

Categories     Sauce     Dessert     Side     Fry     Banana

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Make the Caramel
  • Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the brown sugar and butter. Allow both to melt and mix well using a heatproof silicone spatula.
  • Fry the Bananas
  • When the caramel is hot and bubbly, add the bananas, cut side down, along with the pecans. Allow the bananas to cook for about 3 minutes before turning them over. The cut side should have a deep golden brown color and a slightly crispy texture. (Depending on the ripeness of the banana, they may break. Don't worry about this; they will still be delicious.)
  • Cook for another 2 minutes, using a spoon to drizzle the caramel sauce over the bananas to keep infusing them with caramel flavor.
  • Serve
  • Place the bananas on a serving dish or platter, top with scoops of ice cream, and drizzle the caramel sauce and nuts all over it.
  • COOKING NOTES
  • ADVANCE PREPARATION
  • The bananas are best served just after they are made. They will lose their crispy caramelized texture as they sit but will still retain their flavor so long as they are not refrigerated.
  • If you must make them in advance, the bananas can be held in a warm oven for a few hours.
