Caramelized Banana Bliss

Caramelized Banana Bliss is a simple yet delicious dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The bananas are caramelized in a skillet with vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and then topped with chopped walnuts and vegan vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Caramelized Banana Bliss was created by me, a food writer and recipe developer, in my kitchen one day when I was looking for a quick and easy dessert to make. I had some ripe bananas on hand, and I wanted to use them up before they went bad. I also had some vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg on hand, so I decided to experiment with making a caramelized banana dessert. The result was Caramelized Banana Bliss, and it has been a favorite of mine ever since.

Prep time: 5 | Cook time: 5 | Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 scoop vegan vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced bananas and cook until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
3. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the bananas and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until the sugar has melted and caramelized.
4. Remove the bananas from the skillet and place them on a plate.
5. Top with chopped walnuts and vegan vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Why It Works

• The bananas are caramelized in a skillet with vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, which gives them a delicious flavor and texture.
• The chopped walnuts add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the dessert.
• The vegan vanilla ice cream adds a creamy and cold element to the dessert, which makes it even more enjoyable.
