Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Swirl the pan until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Step 3
Carefully add the banana slices in a single layer. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until they develop a light golden crust. Flip the slices gently and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the brown sugar and mix until combined, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the ground cinnamon (if using). Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Step 7
Place the sautéed bananas back into the skillet and gently coat them in the caramel sauce.
Step 8
Serve immediately, either on their own or as a topping for vanilla ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
