This recipe also goes really well with french toast for a decadent morning breakfast.

The trick is to make sure you don't add the bananas too soon otherwise they'll cook down too much and be mushy.

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.6 cup dark brown sugar
• 3.5 tablespoons rum
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long)s bananas, peeled and sliced lengthwise and crosswise
• 0.25 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions

1. In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
2. Stir in sugar, rum, vanilla and cinnamon.
3. When mixture begins to bubble, place bananas and walnuts in pan.
4. Cook until bananas are hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Serve at once over vanilla ice cream.
