Caramelized Banana Topping

How to Make the Easiest Caramelized Banana Topping

If you’re looking for a quick way to upgrade your breakfast bowl, this caramelized banana topping is it. It’s sweet, spiced, and jammy—with just a few ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 1 ripe banana

• ½ cup brown sugar

• A splash of vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

• Lots of cinnamon

How to Make It:

Slice the banana and toss everything into a small pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a glossy, jammy consistency (about 8–10 minutes). Let it cool slightly, then transfer to a jar or container and store in the fridge.

How to Use It:

This topping is insanely good on hot cereal (we’re biased, but ChiChi + caramelized banana = unreal). You can also swirl it into smoothies, spoon it over pancakes, or even stir it into a latte for a cozy, banana-spice vibe.

It keeps well in the fridge for a few days—if you don’t eat it all in one go.
