Ingredients
- 2 large bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it dissolves completely into the butter to create a smooth sauce.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the cinnamon and stir to combine.
Step 5
Carefully add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottoms to caramelize.
Step 6
Flip the banana slices gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until softened and golden on both sides.
Step 7
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing gently to avoid breaking the banana slices.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve immediately as-is, or use as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or ice cream.
