Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces ripe bananas
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons dark rum
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it dissolves into the butter, creating a smooth caramel-like sauce.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, dark rum, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Gently place the banana halves into the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting them with the warm sauce to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Once the bananas are tender and lightly caramelized, remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

To serve, place two banana halves on each plate and drizzle generously with the vanilla rum sauce.

Step 8

Optionally, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. Serve immediately and enjoy!
