How to Make Amaretto Bananas Foster
- Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 4 ripe bananas, sliced lengthwise, to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until bananas are softened and slightly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
- Stir in 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to thicken (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add 2 ounces of amaretto (or 1 oz dark rum & 1 oz banana liqueur for the classic version). Reduce heat to low and stir until the alcohol is incorporated and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
- If flambéing (for experienced cooks only), carefully ignite the alcohol with a long match or kitchen torch. Allow the flames to die down before serving.
- Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream or vanilla pudding. Enjoy!
