Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole (ripe) Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- Ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and combines, forming a smooth caramel sauce.
Sprinkle in the cinnamon powder and stir to evenly distribute the flavor.
Place the banana slices into the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until they begin to caramelize and turn golden.
Gently flip the banana slices using tongs or a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the bananas and give everything a light stir to coat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately plate the caramelized bananas.
Drizzle the bananas with maple syrup and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
Serve warm, optionally paired with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
