1
Prepare the Bananas
Peel the mini saba bananas carefully and set them aside.
2
Prepare the Skewers
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for about 10 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
4
Cook the Caramel
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Allow it to boil for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5
Add Butter
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

6
Skewer the Bananas
Take each peeled mini saba banana and skewer it onto a bamboo stick, making sure it's secure.
7
Caramelize the Bananas
In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, place the skewered bananas. Pour a generous amount of the caramel sauce over the bananas and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally until they are evenly coated and caramelized.

8
Serve Warm
Remove the caramelized bananas from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle with any remaining caramel sauce and serve warm.
