Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into approximately 1/2 inch thick rounds.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it starts to dissolve and combine with the coconut oil, forming a paste-like consistency.
Place the sliced bananas in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring each piece makes contact with the sugar-oil mixture.
Cook the bananas for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until they become caramelized and golden brown.
Carefully flip the bananas with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sea salt evenly over the bananas.
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the cooked bananas and gently stir to coat them well in the flavorings.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the bananas cool slightly before serving.
Serve the caramelized bananas warm on their own or as a topping for dairy-free ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
