Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 ounces rum substitute bourbon or brandy
  • 2 bananas cut in half and then sliced horizontally
  • 2 scoops dairy-free ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • Add coconut oil and coconut sugar to a cold skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the coconut sugar begins to form a syrup and separate from the oil, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and cook 30 seconds.
  • Carefully pour in the rum and let cook 15 seconds. Light a match and carefully position it over the edge of the pan to ignite the alcohol. Cook the sauce until the flames subside.
  • Add the bananas, cut-side down, and cook until slightly soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the bananas and cook for an additional 60 seconds.
  • Spoon the bananas into a serving bowl, top with ice cream and spoon the remaining sauce overtop. Serve immediately.
