Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 3 medium sized bananas peeled and sliced lengthwise into long strips
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 cup light rum
- 1 tbsp banana liqueur
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add butter to a large non stick pan and melt over medium heat.
- Once completely melted down, whisk or stir in the brown sugar and let dissolve into the butter completely.
- Add banana slices to the sugar mixture and cook for about 2 minutes on one side then turn over and cook for 2 minutes on the other side.
- Add in cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg then finally the rum, banana liqueur and vanilla and cook until it begins to bubble.
- THIS IS OPTIONAL: Once you see it bubbling, use a long lighter and light it but be VERY CAREFUL.
- Continue basting until the flames burn out and then serve over vanilla ice cream immediately.
Notes
THIS IS OPTIONAL: Flambeing is optional but it does cook out the alcohol and make for a deeper caramelization on the bananas. To do it, use a long lighter to carefully ignite the liquid.
