Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
- First things first, grab those two ripe bananas. Peel them and slice them into chunky pieces, each about 2 inches long. If you’re anything like me, you'll want to sneak a bite of the banana as you slice. The sweetness is just too tempting!
Step 2: Mix Your Ingredients
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk, vanilla extract, maple sugar, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir gently until everything is well blended. The colors will swirl together into a luxurious mixture that smells heavenly.
Step 3: Add the Bananas
- Now, slide those banana slices into the saucepan with the coconut mixture. Stir carefully to coat the bananas without breaking them. The bananas should feel like they’re getting a warm embrace—they deserve it!
Step 4: Cook on Medium Heat
- Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5-10 minutes.
- You’ll see the bananas become tender, soaking up that glorious coconut flavor. As you watch the bananas soften, you can almost hear them singing with joy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the bananas are perfectly tender, it’s time to serve! You can serve this dish warm or chill it for later.
- It pairs beautifully with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or even toasted coconut on top for a little crunch. Dive in and enjoy!

Notes
- Choose the Right Bananas: Opt for bananas that are fully ripe but not overripe. They should be yellow with a few brown spots.
- Coconut Milk Consistency: If you want a thicker sauce, reduce the coconut milk on the stove a bit longer.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste as you go! Depending on your preference, you might want more or less sweetness.
- Add a Splash of Lime: A squeeze of fresh lime juice can brighten the flavors wonderfully.
- Experiment with Toppings: Nuts, seeds, or even a drizzle of honey can add an extra special touch.
