Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- to taste optional toppings (whipped cream or vanilla ice cream)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each piece in half crosswise, yielding four pieces per banana.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the sauce and stir to combine.
Place the banana pieces into the skillet cut-side down. Cook them for 2-3 minutes without moving, until they begin to caramelize.
Carefully flip the bananas and cook for another 2 minutes. Be gentle to avoid breaking the bananas.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice to the skillet. Gently swirl the pan to mix the flavors into the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat. Let the bananas cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve the caramelized bananas warm, drizzled with the sauce from the skillet. Optional: Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful finish.
