Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 0 optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into thick coins or halved lengthwise, depending on your presentation preference.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly.
Step 3
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly into the skillet and stir to create a smooth caramel sauce. Allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Add the sliced bananas to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on one side until they begin to caramelize. Flip the bananas gently and cook an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
Step 5
Carefully pour the dark rum over the caramelized bananas. Let it sizzle for a few seconds, then stir gently to coat the bananas in the sauce.
Step 6
Sprinkle the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt over the bananas, then stir gently to combine all the flavors.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the bananas to cool slightly for a minute or two.
Step 8
Serve the bananas warm, either on their own or as a topping for whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
