Bananas Foster:

1. Peel a thin edge of banana peel off of each banana. Leave the rest of the peel on. Slice down the middle of each banana and then cut in half so you should have four equal size pieces.
2. Sprinkle brown sugar on or drizzle the exposed sides of each banana piece with maple syrup/honey
3. Melt butter in a sauté pan and fry bananas starting with the peel side down. Add chopped walnuts (optional). Flip once the peel begins to turn black/deep dark brown and cook until bananas are soft. Remove peels before eating. Serve immediately.
