Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 Pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Tablespoon rum optional
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and honey.
- Stir the mixture until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, creating a smooth sauce.
- Place the banana slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Flip the banana slices gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- If using rum, carefully move the skillet away from the heat and pour in the rum. Return the skillet to the heat.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the bananas to caramelize and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Remove the bananas from the skillet and serve immediately over ice cream or overtop pancakes and waffles.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Enjoy!
