1
Peel and Slice Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into diagonal pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.

2
Melt Butter
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it starts to bubble.
3
Add Brown Sugar
Stir in the brown sugar into the melted butter and mix well until it begins to dissolve and form a smooth sauce.
4
Add Bananas
Gently add the sliced bananas to the skillet, making sure they are well coated with the sauce. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing them to caramelize slightly.
5
Add Rum and Spices
Carefully add the dark rum, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until the bananas are tender and the sauce is thickened.

6
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm over your choice of ice cream or dessert. Enjoy your homemade Bananas Foster!
