Ingredients

• 4 large Bananas
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoons Optional: rum

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the melted butter, stirring gently to combine into a syrup.

Step 4

Add the bananas to the skillet, cut side facing down. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the cut sides are golden and caramelized.

Step 5

Carefully flip the bananas using a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Drizzle the vanilla extract over the bananas along with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

Step 7

If using rum, add it to the skillet and allow it to cook for 1 minute to burn off the alcohol (optional).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the bananas warm. Use them as a topping or enjoy them alone for a quick and satisfying dessert.
