When you need something sweet, but no too much fat.
Note: In the US, animal products are used in the process of refining sugar.

Put banana in a pan with boiling water and let it cook until it's soft

the sugar melts and the banana is cooked ( 3 min in my microwave
but might be less time in more powerful microwaves). Serve warm.
