Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar packed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup spiced rum
  • Vanilla ice cream to serve

Instructions

  • Cut the bananas in half, then cut those halves in half again lengthwise, set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Constantly stirring until the butter and sugars are melted and everything is combined well, this will take roughly 2 minutes.
  • Next, add the bananas and stir them around to coat them in the sauce.
  • Remove from heat and add the rum.
  • Using a kitchen torch or long handled lighter, carefully light the rum on fire, allowing the rum to fully cook off. When the flame disappears it is ready.
  • Add the skillet back onto the stove and continue to cook over medium heat until the bananas become soft and the sauce has slightly thickened, this will take roughly 4 more minutes.
  • To serve, place the bananas in a bowl or on a plate with some vanilla ice cream and sauce drizzled over the top.
