Ingredients

• 1 piece ripe banana
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons whipped cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe banana and slice it into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and forms a smooth caramel-like sauce.

Step 4

Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side, until lightly caramelized.

Step 5

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the bananas and carefully flip each slice with a spatula to caramelize the other side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Drizzle the vanilla extract into the skillet and gently stir to coat the bananas in the sweet sauce.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the caramelized bananas to a serving dish.

Step 8

Top the bananas with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your delightful, sweet banana dessert!
