Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Slice the bananas into 1-inch thick rounds and set them aside.

    Melt the Butter: In a large non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

      Add Cinnamon and Sugar: Once the butter is melted, stir in the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined into a syrupy mixture.

        Fry the Bananas: Carefully add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then gently flip them with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

          Add Vanilla: Once the bananas are cooked, drizzle the vanilla extract over them and gently stir to combine.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve warm, garnished with optional toppings like chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate the dish.
