Caramelized Bananas



I have a saber-toothed tiger size sweet tooth, but when biking it is important to consume nutritional calories. Unfortunately, chocolate consumption is empty calories. I never realized how many calories a person burns while biking. To satisfy my cravings and consume the appropriate amount of calories, I am trying to find easy recipes that can be cooked while camping. We are trying to travel light, and carry items that will not spoil quickly. These caramelized bananas will be the perfect way to solve this food problem!

Caramelized Bananas

Prep and cook time: 10 minutes
Make: 1 serving
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

1 large, ripe banana (you do not want this mushy)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter

We will bring sugar and butter with us on the road, since these will not spoil. (Hopefully it will not be too hot cause then the butter will melt)

1) Peel the banana and cut into 3 pieces. Then slice each piece in half (lengthwise).
2) Place the six banana slices into cooking device (we will try tin foil)
3) Sprinkle bananas with sugar and rotate each slice to ensure sugar is coating all surfaces of the banana.
4) Set your bananas aside
5) Place butter in cooking device (we will try tin foil)
6) Melt the butter
7) Add the bananas
8) Fry until bananas are golden brown and flip to another side
9) Bananas will be done when all sides are golden brown


Please enjoy!
