Amazing Bananas Foster Recipe

dark rum

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic rum extract

💰Cheaper: light rum

Non-alcoholic option for flavor without alcohol

Gather all ingredients: brown sugar, rum, butter, cinnamon, bananas, and ice cream.

Measure out 3/4 cup packed brown sugar and crumble it into a large pan.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the brown sugar in the pan.

Measure out 1/3 cup of spiced rum and set aside.

Cut 1/2 cup of butter into pieces and add it to the pan with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Place the pan over medium heat and stir frequently until the butter melts and the mixture becomes bubbly.

Once bubbling, add the sliced bananas (cut lengthwise) to the pan and cook until tender, about 4 minutes, stirring gently to avoid breaking them.

Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning and flip the bananas carefully to cook evenly.

Remove the pan from heat and ensure the burner is off before flambéing.

Pour the rum over the bananas and carefully light it on fire to flambé, allowing the alcohol to cook off.

Scoop ice cream into bowls and top with the caramelized bananas and sauce.
