These fried sweet bananas are a popular breakfast or dessert in northeast Brazil. Bananas or plantains are fried in butter and coated with cinnamon sugar. Delicious with vanilla ice cream, too.
Ingredients

½ cup white sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter
Directions
Cut each banana half into 3 or 4 pieces.
Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add banana slices and cook until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer banana slices to a paper towel-lined plate.
Press fried banana slices into cinnamon sugar, one at a time, until evenly coated.
