Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, sliced into rounds

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: Chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for topping

Optional: A scoop of vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

    Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until it begins to dissolve and form a syrupy consistency.

      Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt into the mixture, stirring to combine well.

        Carefully add the sliced bananas to the skillet, making sure they are evenly coated with the cinnamon butter mixture.

          Cook the bananas for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they are golden brown, then gently flip them over using a spatula.

            Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the other side to caramelize and become soft.

              Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the vanilla extract over the warm bananas, stirring gently to combine.

                Serve the pan-fried cinnamon bananas warm, topped with chopped nuts if desired, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent twist.
