Caramelized Bananas
Deliciously sweet caramelized bananas, perfect as a dessert or topping for ice cream.
Equipment
- 10-inch skillet
Ingredients
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 4 over-ripe bananas thickly sliced (½ inch)
- ½ cup salted sweet cream butter sliced into pats
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- vanilla ice cream optional garnish
Instructions
- Sprinkle the brown sugar in a shallow baking dish.
- Roll the thickly sliced pieces of banana in the brown sugar.
- Heat the sliced butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. As the butter melts, add the vanilla and nutmeg. Stir to combine completely.
- Add the coated slices of banana. Cook for 3 to 3½ minutes, flip, and continue cooking for another 2½ to 3 minutes. Be sure to keep a close eye on the bananas; they can go from caramelized to burned very quickly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve over vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Make sure to choose over-ripe bananas for the best sweetness. Adjust the cooking time according to the heat of your stove to prevent burning. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
