Instructions

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring until smooth and bubbly.
Add the sliced bananas and gently stir to coat them in the caramel sauce.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and caramelized.
Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, if using. Let it bubble for another 30 seconds.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
Can also be used as a quick dessert on its own with a dollop of whipped cream.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using.
