Notes

If you want to make caramelized bananas without sugar, you can use Stevia or an alternative sugar substitute.
You could also flavor the bananas with rum, bourbon, maple syrup, coconut extract or almond extract.
Make vegan caramelized bananas by using vegan butter or coconut oil. And if all you have is unsalted butter, add a dash of salt.
These bananas are best served immediately after making them, but if store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
