Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- as desired Whipped cream or ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350–375°F).
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Brush the cut sides of the bananas generously with the butter mixture.
Place the bananas on the grill, cut side down. Grill for 3–4 minutes until they develop light grill marks and start to caramelize.
