Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
- 1 sprig fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter and stir gently to combine, creating a caramel base.
Place the banana slices into the skillet, flat side down. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes without moving, until the bottoms are golden and caramelized.
Carefully flip the bananas and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Sprinkle the bananas with ground cinnamon, then carefully pour the rum over the bananas. Allow the rum to warm for a couple of seconds, then tilt the pan slightly or use a long lighter to ignite the rum for a flambé effect. (Ensure safety precautions when igniting alcohol.)
Once the flames die down, remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the caramelized bananas warm, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
