Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add brown sugar, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves and forms a syrup.
- Place banana slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and caramelized.
- Remove from heat and serve warm as-is, or over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
Notes
- Use slightly overripe bananas for the best caramelization and flavor.
- Add a splash of rum or vanilla extract for extra depth.
- Serve immediately for the best texture — they can get mushy if left too long.
