Prepare the Bananas

1. Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into diagonal slices, about ½ inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Cook the Bananas

1. Melt the Butter: Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.
2. Add Sugar and Cinnamon: Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until combined. The mixture should become a syrupy consistency.
3. Cook the Bananas: Place the banana slices in the skillet, ensuring they’re in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
4. Flip Gently: Use a spatula to flip the bananas carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Add the Final Touches

1. Drizzle Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract for a burst of flavor.
2. Serve Hot: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
