Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) for garnish

Optional: scoop of vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

    Butter Melting: In a large non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.

      Caramelization: Add the brown sugar to the melted butter, stirring continuously until it forms a smooth mixture. Be careful not to let it burn!

        Seasoning: Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and salt, mixing well until fully combined. The mixture should be fragrant.

          Adding Bananas: Carefully place the banana slices in the skillet, making sure they are evenly spaced. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until they are golden brown.

            Flipping: Gently flip the banana slices over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until caramelized.

              Finishing Touches: Drizzle the vanilla extract over the bananas and give a gentle stir to coat them in the sweet sauce. Remove from heat.

                Serve: Transfer the bananas to a serving plate, adding optional chopped nuts for crunch and serve immediately - perfect on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an indulgent treat!
