Brûlée the Bananas
Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them in half lengthwise. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until combined. Place the cut-side of the bananas down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Flip the bananas and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
