Ingredients
- 1 piece ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe banana and slice it into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and forms a smooth caramel-like sauce.
Step 4
Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side, until lightly caramelized.
Step 5
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the bananas and carefully flip each slice with a spatula to caramelize the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Drizzle the vanilla extract into the skillet and gently stir to coat the bananas in the sweet sauce.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the caramelized bananas to a serving dish.
Step 8
Top the bananas with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your delightful, sweet banana dessert!
