Caramelized Bananas
A super quick and easy dessert!
Equipment
- Sauté pan
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter good quality
- 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 ripe banana not overly ripe or brown, peeled, cut in half and sliced lengthwise
Instructions
- Place the butter and sugar in a sauté pan over low heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves and begins to bubble.
- Simmer for about 2 minutes, then add the bananas; continue to simmer and turn the bananas for another minute or so.
- Remove from heat.
- Place a scoop of ice cream in two serving bowls, then top each with 4 pieces of banana; drizzle with the syrup or serve as desired.
Notes
Chop the banana into pieces instead of quartering them. Add nuts, coconut or other additions of your choice. Use less sugar, and add some maple syrup for a different flavor profile. Serve with freshly whipped unsweetened cream instead of ice cream. Serve as is, or with ice cream, whipped cream or custard. Serve on top of pancakes, waffles, oatmeal or French toast.
