Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Place them in a buttered baking dish in a single layer.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, rum, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Pour the buttery sugar-rum mixture evenly over the bananas in the baking dish.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the bananas for added texture and flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and caramelized.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
Serve the baked bananas warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
