  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1/2 piece lemon juiced

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by peeling the bananas. Slice them into thick rounds, about 1-inch thick, to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil, raw honey, lemon juice, and crushed cardamom seeds. Stir until well blended.
  3. Place the sliced bananas into the slow cooker. Pour the honey mixture over the bananas, gently tossing to ensure all slices are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Let the bananas cook for about 2 hours, or until they are tender.
  5. Once the bananas are cooked, give them a gentle stir. Serve them warm, topped with chopped hazelnuts or almonds for added texture if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the syrup.
