Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it dissolves completely into the butter to create a smooth sauce.
Sprinkle in the cinnamon and stir to combine.
Carefully add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottoms to caramelize.
Flip the banana slices gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until softened and golden on both sides.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing gently to avoid breaking the banana slices.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as-is, or use as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or ice cream.
