Ingredients

• 2 pieces Bananas (ripe)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Walnuts (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and mash them in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to bubble slightly.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously until it dissolves, forming a caramel-like mixture (about 2 minutes).

Step 4

Slowly add the water to the saucepan and stir until well combined. The mixture may bubble briefly—stir to prevent splattering.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the syrup is smooth and well blended.

Step 6

Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

In a small dry skillet, toast the chopped walnuts over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan with the syrup from the heat and stir in the toasted walnuts.

Step 9

Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or any dish that could use a sweet, nutty topping.
