Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into thick, diagonal slices, about 1/2-inch wide.
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 15-20 seconds, or until just melted.
Add the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to the melted butter. Stir until combined.
Stir in the rum and vanilla extract. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.
Add the banana slices to the bowl and gently toss to coat each piece with the sauce.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small corner open for steam to escape.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the bananas are softened but not mushy and the sauce is bubbling.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the bananas and sauce warm over scoops of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
