Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling your ripe bananas and slicing them in half lengthwise. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

  3. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle in granulated sugar and stir until dissolved.
  4. Mix in ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until well blended.
  5. If using, carefully pour dark rum into the sauce and allow the flames to subside.
  6. Place the banana halves cut-side down in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  7. Remove the bananas and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
  8. Drizzle the cinnamon butter sauce generously over fried bananas and serve with vanilla ice cream.
