Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cup ripe banana slices use firm, yellow bananas
- 2.5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp water
- 0.75 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.13 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.5 tsp fresh lemon juice optional, brightens the sauce
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Peel bananas and cut into 1/2-inch slices; set aside.
- Melt butter with brown sugar and water in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbling.
- Arrange banana slices in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes, until the undersides turn golden.
- Flip gently and cook 1–2 minutes more, just until lightly caramelized.
- Stir in cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Toss gently and simmer 30–60 seconds to thicken.
- Remove from heat. Add lemon juice, if using. Serve warm with the pan sauce.
Notes
Serve over vanilla ice cream, pancakes, French toast, or oatmeal. For a bananas foster twist, add 1 tbsp dark rum to the pan off heat and carefully ignite. Dairy-free option: swap butter for coconut oil. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; rewarm gently over low heat.
