Description

This scrumptious and elegant dessert originated in New Orleans and since then has gone international in restaurants. It's ready in about 10 minutes with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. unsalted butter
• 3/4 c. light brown sugar, tightly packed
• 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 t. ground cinnamon
• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 1/3 c. (3 oz.) rum
• vanilla ice cream and chopped pecans, for serving

Steps

1. In a medium skillet set over medium heat, add butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a wooden spoon to occasionally stir until butter is fully melted and sugars are dissolved, about 3 minutes.
2. Peel bananas; slice bananas in half lengthwise; cut halves into about 2 inch chunks, not too small or they will turn into to mush while cooking.
3. Add the sliced bananas to the skillet; stir gently to coat them in the sugary butter; cook for about 2 minutes until just starting to soften.
