How to Make Banana In Coconut Milk

  1. Pour 1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk into a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the coconut milk to a gentle simmer. Do not boil vigorously.
  3. Add 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1-inch pieces, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to the simmering coconut milk.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bananas are slightly softened and the sugar has dissolved.
  5. Stir in 4-5 fresh mint leaves. Remove from heat and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy! Garnish with extra mint leaves, if desired.
