Chunky Cinnamon Banana Caramel
This homemade cinnamon banana caramel is a luscious, golden sauce that blends the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the warm spice of cinnamon and the rich, buttery notes of caramel. Smooth and silky with a hint of nostalgia, it’s perfect for drizzling over pancakes, ice cream, or toast, or for spooning straight from the jar. Made with simple ingredients and no refined sugar, it’s a cozy, comforting treat that tastes like dessert and feels like home. Visit groovyfoodiess.com for more of Sarah's recipes!

Preparation
- Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the bananas. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Using a spoon, mash the bananas to the desired consistency.
- Add the brown sugar to the bananas. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until the brown sugar melts and becomes liquidy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and salt.
- Remove from heat, and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla until combined.
- Optionally, you can blend the mixture to make it very smooth, but I like to leave mine chunky!
- Serve with your favorite ice cream or coffee.
- Enjoy!
