Bananas Foster

My standard fall back for overripe bananas is of course, banana bread.  Here is another option for you.  I've made it twice now and it's been a crowd pleaser both times.  It comes together in about 5 minutes and is super easy!



Bananas Foster

1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup egg nog (or heavy cream)
1/4 cup spiced rum
2/3 cup chopped pecans
3 bananas
dash of cinnamon

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.  Add the sugar and stir to combine.  Stir in the egg nog and cook for 1-2 minutes until mixtures are incorporated and bubbly.  Carefully pour in the rum.  At this point, you can either light it on fire and let it burn off the alcohol or you can just stir and cook for a few minutes to let it cook off.  I like to light it on fire because it's way more fun!

Stir in the pecans, bananas and cinnamon.  Serve right away on french toast or over ice cream.  You can refrigerate it if there are leftovers, but I can assure you...there won't be any leftovers.
