Description
Caramelized banana slices sizzle in a buttery brown sugar syrup, spiced with cinnamon and bright vanilla. Each warm bite melts on the tongue, with a golden coating that’s irresistibly silky and fragrant.
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon and salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes syrupy.
- Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until they are golden and coated in the syrup.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and gently drizzle the vanilla extract over the bananas.
- Transfer to a serving dish and spoon any remaining syrup over the top.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for optimal sweetness and texture
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon to suit your taste
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
