Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol-based)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Dark rum (optional, or use rum extract for alcohol-free)
- 1 spray Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 scoops Low-calorie vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 2-3 pieces, depending on size.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a spray of nonstick cooking spray.
Add the brown sugar substitute, almond milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the skillet. Stir gently until the mixture begins to bubble, creating a syrupy sauce (about 1 minute).
If using, add the dark rum and allow the mixture to simmer for 30 seconds to cook off the alcohol. Alternatively, use a few drops of rum extract for a non-alcoholic version.
Add the banana slices to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, gently flipping them once to coat both sides evenly in the sauce. Be careful not to overcook, as the bananas should retain their shape.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool for a few moments.
Serve the bananas warm over scoops of low-calorie vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top for extra flavor.
Sprinkle with a dash of additional ground cinnamon for garnish, if desired, and enjoy your guilt-free dessert!
