Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 3 tablespoons cashew butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon milk (plant-based or dairy)
- 2 tablespoons chopped roasted cashews
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt to the skillet. Stir until the sugar dissolves and forms a caramel-like mixture, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Carefully place the banana halves cut-side down in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden and caramelized. Flip the bananas gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Remove the skillet from heat.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the cashew butter, honey (or maple syrup), and milk until smooth and drizzleable. Add a few more drops of milk if needed to adjust the consistency.
Step 6
To serve, place the warm bananas on a plate. Drizzle generously with the cashew butter sauce and sprinkle the chopped roasted cashews on top.
Step 7
For an extra indulgent option, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
Step 8
Enjoy your Banana Cashew Melt warm!
