Butterscotch bananas with pecans is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that pairs the rich, caramel-like flavor of butterscotch with the natural sweetness of bananas and the crunch of toasted pecans. This recipe is perfect for a quick treat or an elegant dessert to impress your guests.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the bananas into bite-sized pieces.
- Roughly chop the pecans if they are not already chopped.
- In a dry skillet, toast the pecans over medium heat, stirring frequently. This should take about 2-3 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once toasted, set the pecans aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Allow it to melt completely, but do not let it brown.
- Add the brown sugar to the melted butter. Stir continuously until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the light sour cream to the sugar and butter mixture. Stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thick and creamy.
- Gently fold in the sliced bananas and toasted pecans. Stir until the bananas and pecans are well coated with the butterscotch sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to overcook the bananas as they can become mushy.
- Serve the butterscotch bananas with pecans warm. They pair beautifully with ice cream, over pancakes, waffles, or even on their own.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the brown sugar to create a smooth butterscotch sauce.
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before adding them to the dish to enhance their flavor.
- Serve the butterscotch bananas warm, either alone or over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Keep an eye on the butterscotch sauce while cooking to prevent it from burning.
