Directions
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the butter and brown sugar and stir until just dissolved, about 1 minute. Turn the heat to high. Once the mixture is bubbling, add the bananas. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and kosher salt.
Turn off the heat. Add the rum, then use a long stick lighter to ignite the liquor. Allow the flame to burn off the alcohol.
Reduce until the sauce is thick and glazing the bananas, about 2 minutes. Garnish with the walnuts. Serve over ice cream divided among four bowls. Top with flaky salt if desired.
Tools You May Need
Use extreme caution when igniting alcohol. Remove the pan from the heat source before adding the alcohol. Pour the alcohol into the pan and carefully ignite with a match or click lighter. Return the pan to the heat and gently swirl to reduce the flames.
