Ingredients

• 2 Ripe bananas
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves, creating a smooth caramel-like mixture, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt, ensuring they are well incorporated.

Step 5

Add the banana slices to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping the slices occasionally to ensure even caramelization.

Step 6

Carefully pour in the dark rum. Using a long lighter or match, ignite the rum to flambé, if desired (optional). Allow the flames to extinguish naturally, cooking off the alcohol. Skip this step if preferred.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, gently mixing until the sauce is smooth and velvety, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Serve warm over your favorite desserts or breakfast dishes.
