Ingredients

  • 4 pieces ripe bananas peeled and sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1/2 pieces lemon juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds crushed
  • chopped hazelnuts or almonds optional

Instructions

  • Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them into thick rounds. This will ensure they hold their shape while still becoming tender in the slow cooker.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced bananas with the coconut oil, raw honey, lemon juice, and crushed cardamom seeds. Gently toss everything together until the bananas are well coated.
  • Transfer the banana mixture into the slow cooker, spreading it out evenly to ensure all the bananas cook uniformly.
  • Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 2 hours. If you prefer a softer texture, you can cook it on low for an additional hour.
  • Once the cooking time is up, stir the mixture gently to combine. Serve warm, topped with chopped hazelnuts or almonds if desired.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Serving spoon

Notes

  • Use ripe but not overripe bananas for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, increase the amount of cardamom to taste.
  • Make sure to stir the bananas gently to avoid mashing them during the cooking process.
  • For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut to the mixture before cooking.
