Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Arrange them in a single layer in a baking dish with the cut sides facing up.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, dark rum, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Pour the butter-rum mixture evenly over the bananas in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and the sauce is bubbling and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let the bananas cool for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle the caramelized sauce from the baking dish over the top for extra flavor.
