Warm bananas smothered in a flavorful sauce with nutmeg undertones. Any time of year, this sweet delicacy is quick and simple. Twenty minutes and you’re ready to dine. The day it is made is the finest day to serve this dish. I usually serve with ice cream and mushy bananas.

These were really really good, but I thought they were lacking a little something. Chopped nuts? Drizzled chocolate? I added rum to the sauce, and that was an excellent plan!
My fiancee and I loved it 🙂 Had it with some vanilla ice cream.. Will make it again for a special occasion!
This was just okay. I do not think I would like it by itself, but it was all right with ice cream. A dessert like this, I think, would be better with apples than bananas. Thanks anyway.
FABULOUS!!!! I made this two nights in a row!!! I made half the recipe both nights. Could have saved myself the time and made the whole recipe the first time!
Very good. I had a few extra bananas laying around so I thought I would give it a try. I used the vanilla crepe recipe with it . Not to sweet just right. I will make again.
These are a great dessert if you need something fast and delicious. The only recommendation I have is to maybe half (or even quarter) the recipe (unless you have a LOT of company over) because it doesn’t keep well AT ALL.
Don’t worry about how this dish looks, it tastes great. Could use less sugar and it would still be very good. Great way to use ripe bananas.
I made these a while ago…very tasty ate with ice cream.
I didn’t think this would taste good, but we had so many bananas that i decided to give it a try! and i’m os glad i did! It was delicious!! Make sure you eat it in one night b/c the bananas go brown! thanks!
This was very yummy! Next time I think I’ll cut up the bananas so they get a bit softer. I’d also use brown sugar instead of white. My husband thinks it would taste better with a bit of rum extract. It was still very good, though.
I didn’t care for this at all. I love bananas foster and was hoping this would be similar. My bananas turned out a little bitter after cooking and the syrup topping was just a thin clear sugar syrup. I think it would taste much better with brown sugar so you could get that carmel taste. I even put this over ice cream and topped it with whipped cream. I think I would have preferred just the ice cream and whip cream without the bananas. Sorry.
Yummy, great ice cream topping!
Yummy dessert that got the attention of my 2.5 year old. We enjoyed it very much.
This is so quick and easy to make, but it tastes delicious! The only thing I would do differently next time is to use brown sugar. Other than that, this is excellent. I served this with a little fat-free Cool Whip. Thanks!
What an absolutely wonderful recipe this was. I will make it again and again. Thanks so much for posting. One note though….Make only what you need because the banana’s dont keep till the next day.
Wow – was looking for something to do with soft bananas and found this recipe – will make it again and again!
As good as the Lady says, I dont use the salt and sometimes replace the nutmeg with 60ml of dark rum at stage 2, but with or without the rum this recipe is excellent.
