Sautéed Banana and Raisin Topping

This naturally sweet fruit topping is very good on oatmeal, pancakes, or French toast. Be sure the banana you use is nice and ripe.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 1

Ingredients

1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 ripe banana, peeled and cut on the bias into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 teaspoons raisins

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Add the banana slices and sauté for 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the slices and continue to cook until golden brown on the other side, 1 or 2 minutes more.

    Step 2

    When the bananas are golden brown all over, remove them from the pan. Spoon the banana topping over whatever dish you’ve chosen. Sprinkle on the raisins.
