Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam slightly.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until it dissolves, forming a smooth caramel-like sauce (about 1-2 minutes).
Stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, until the bottoms are golden and caramelized.
Carefully flip the banana slices using a spatula or tongs and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the caramel sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the bananas cool slightly for 1-2 minutes so the caramel can thicken.
Serve the caramelized bananas immediately over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or enjoy them on their own.
