Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bananas (ripe)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Walnuts (chopped)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and mash them in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to bubble slightly.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously until it dissolves, forming a caramel-like mixture (about 2 minutes).
Slowly add the water to the saucepan and stir until well combined. The mixture may bubble briefly—stir to prevent splattering.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the syrup is smooth and well blended.
Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.
In a small dry skillet, toast the chopped walnuts over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove the saucepan with the syrup from the heat and stir in the toasted walnuts.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or any dish that could use a sweet, nutty topping.
