Ingredients

Bananas: I used medium bananas in this recipe but you can use any size you like. The bananas need to be ripe or they will be sour.

Brown sugar: also called light brown sugar and adds to the lovely caramel flavor of these bananas. You could try using dark brown sugar if you like, or white sugar at a pinch.

Golden syrup: also called light treacle, really adds to the caramel flavor of this recipe. You could use maple syrup or honey instead if you like but this will add these flavors to the final dish.

Butter: because butter makes most things taste better. In this recipe helps with the caramelization of the bananas. You can substitute with margarine to make this vegan.

Nutmeg: ground nutmeg gives a lovely twist to this recipe. You could use cinnamon if you prefer, or leave it out all together.

How to make caramelized bananas

Peel the banana and slice them length ways, then in half.

Heat a frypan to medium high heat. Add the bananas, flat side down a cook for a couple of minutes until brown and cooked on one side.

Add the butter, brown sugar, golden syrup, nutmeg and salt. Gently swirl pan to combine the caramel. Flip the bananas and cook on the other side till golden brown, spooning some of the caramel over the bananas.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.

How to serve

To serve transfer to plate or bowl and eat immediately. Fabulous with some whipped cream or a big scoop of my banana or vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

How to store

Theses caramelized bananas are best eaten immediately after cooking. At a pinch you could put them in an airtight container and store them for up to two days. If you're not ready to eat the straight away you are best to store the ingredients separately until you are ready to cook them.
