Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons dark rum
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

Peel the bananas and slice them about 1 inch thick on a long bias. Heat the sugar, butter and cinnamon together in a medium skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Add the bananas and stir gently to coat. Add the rum and carefully ignite the alcohol with a stick lighter. Step back and let the alcohol burn off. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened a little bit and the bananas are slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the bananas and sauce between 2 small bowls. Top with ice cream and serve immediately.
