Ingredients

• 2 pieces Bananas
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until it dissolves, forming a smooth caramel-like sauce (about 1-2 minutes).

Step 4

Stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

Step 5

Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, until the bottoms are golden and caramelized.

Step 6

Carefully flip the banana slices using a spatula or tongs and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the caramel sauce.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the bananas cool slightly for 1-2 minutes so the caramel can thicken.

Step 8

Serve the caramelized bananas immediately over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or enjoy them on their own.
