Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) for topping

Optional: scoop of vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into 1-inch thick slices or diagonal shapes for a more elegant presentation.

    Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble gently.

      Add Sugar & Cinnamon: Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt; cook until the mixture is bubbling and slightly caramelized.

        Fry Bananas: Carefully add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until golden brown, then gently flip them over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

          Add Vanilla: Drizzle the vanilla extract over the bananas and stir gently to coat them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

            Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the bananas to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts for added crunch and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
