This sounded so interesting, I gave it a try even though I had some reservations, ...I expected the cooked bananas to bring up a gag reflex, cause usually I can't eat even slightly soft bananas...but this is such a great, fast, easy way to use up overripe bananas, when you're just sick of banana bread. I used this recipe as a guide, but seriously lightened it up. I used about 1/2 TB of butter, I packed TB of brown sugar, 2 bananas, 1 ts vanilla. No cinnamon, walnuts, or rum. I really want to try it with the rum. This is so great with so many things...I know I wouldn't like it with ice cream cause I dislike ice cream( I know I'm weird) but with plain yogurt...yum! It's actually great with bread, and I'm sure pancakes too...it was amazing with my oatmeal. I actually cooked it on high for a good 3-5 mins so the sugars could caramelize...and after taking the bananas out, I swirled the hot pan with water to get all the sugar left over, and pured that over as a syrup on the bananas. I'm sure it must be mind-boggling delicious the original way, but I was making this for breakfast and wanted it lighter. Can't imagine adding anymore sugar or butter...perfect the way I made it:) 2out of 3 family members liked...one refused to touch it after seeing it was cooked bananas...still consider that a success.
