Ingredients:

- 4 ripe bananas

- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter

- 1/4 cup dark rum

- 1 tsp cinnamon

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- Pinch of salt

Direction:

1. Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them into 1/4 inch rounds. Set them aside.

 

2. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add in the brown sugar and stir until it has completely dissolved.

 

3. Carefully add in the bananas and stir until they are fully coated in the butter and sugar mixture.

 

4. Cook the bananas for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and caramelize.

 

5. In a small bowl, mix together the rum, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the bananas.

 

6. Using a long lighter or match, carefully light the rum on fire. Be cautious and make sure there are no flammable items nearby.

 

7. Once the flames have subsided, stir the bananas gently to coat them with the sauce. Let this cook for an additional minute.

 

8. Drizzle in the olive oil and continue to cook the bananas for another 1-2 minutes, until they are soft and golden brown.

 

9. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the bananas cool for a minute before serving.

 

10. Serve the Bananas Foster over ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert. Enjoy!
