Ingredients for Banana Walnut Syrup

  • 2 tablespoons butter

How to Make Banana Walnut Syrup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and sauté until lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 ripe, medium bananas, mashed.
  4. Stir well to combine the bananas and butter-walnut mixture.
  5. Pour in 1/4 cup of maple syrup (or to taste). Reduce heat to low.
  6. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bananas are softened and the syrup has thickened slightly.
  7. Remove from heat and serve warm over your favorite pancakes, waffles, pound cake, or ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
