Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by slicing the banana into even rounds, ensuring uniformity to promote even cooking. Set aside. This provides a creamy texture and allows for a quicker cooking time, ensuring the banana remains tender.
2. 2.
   In a medium-sized non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly. This ensures the butter is hot enough to dissolve the sugar properly but not so hot that it burns.
3. 3.
   Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes a smooth, caramel-colored syrup. The smell will be fragrant, and the mixture should be slightly thinned out. If it appears too thick, add a splash of water and stir until smooth.
4. 4.
   Gently place the banana slices into the caramel mixture, ensuring they are coated evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bananas become slightly golden and caramelized. If they start sticking, add a tiny bit more butter to help them move more freely.
5. 5.
   Once the bananas are caramelized, gently stir in the heavy cream, watching as the sauce becomes rich and creamy. Let it simmer for an additional minute until the sauce thickens and bubbles slightly. If it’s too thick, add a little more cream to reach your desired consistency. Remove from heat and serve immediately for the best texture.
