Ingredients

• 2 whole ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup dark brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons dark rum
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture turns smooth.

Step 4

Add the banana slices to the saucepan and gently stir to coat them in the butter and sugar mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the bananas to soften slightly.

Step 5

Carefully pour in the dark rum. If desired, ignite the rum using a long lighter to flambé for additional depth of flavor. Allow the flame to extinguish before proceeding.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or any dessert of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
