Slice the banana into rounds about 1/2-inch thick.
Warm the butter in a nonstick skillet placed over medium heat. When melted, add the bananas making sure each is on a flat side. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until just starting to brown.
Flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Serve warm over pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, or as a simple side.
Notes
Use a fork or small spatula to flip the slices over.
Use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
Sprinkle with cinnamon for a hint of spice.
Serve over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese. Or serve on their own.
Double the recipe to make a larger batch.
These are best served warm out of the pan but can be reheated and served warm if needed.
