Steps
Prepare Bananas
Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds about 1-1.5 cm thick. Prepare all other ingredients as well.
Make Caramel
In a non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and optional cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves and begins to bubble, forming a beautiful golden-brown caramel. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Caramelize Bananas
Add the banana slices to the caramel and gently toss them to coat all sides. Cook the bananas for about 2-4 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are slightly softened and the caramel adheres to them. Be careful not to overcook them to maintain their texture.
Serve Immediately
Remove the pan from the heat and serve the caramelized bananas immediately. They are excellent on their own, but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Extra Tips
► Serve immediately while warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
► Adding a pinch of salt to the caramel enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
► Experiment with other spices like a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a different twist.
