Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until combined and bubbling, about 30 seconds.
Add banana slices in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden and caramelized. Gently flip with a spatula to avoid breaking the slices.
If using, stir in vanilla extract just before removing from heat.
Serve warm on their own, over pancakes, French toast, ice cream, or oatmeal.

Notes

Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from falling apart while frying.
Add a dash of nutmeg or drizzle with maple syrup for variation.
Best enjoyed immediately.
