Caramelised Bananas

My boys are banana men (if you are within my age bracket, you will remember this childhood program banana man). Bananas are always in my shopping trolley, whether eaten as a snack, or used within our baking adventures.

We had a different kind of snack today... and in honour of it being banana day in the US we have made caramelised bananas. This recipe is very simple and quick to make. All you need is butter, sugar and of course some bananas !.

We served our caramelised bananas with some coconut yoghurt and sprinkled with a little biscoff biscuit and enjoyed for snack this morning. You can serve with any type of yoghurt or cream if that is your thing.

All this talk about bananas.... did you know.... that bananas are the most consumed fruit and the cheapest to buy worldwide hence why they are so popular. In the UK 5billion bananas are eaten and this blew my mind.. that you can actually eat banana skin ( I won't be doing that).

See the recipe below for caramelised bananas and let us know what you think of them!.

Enjoy!
