Recipe Tips

  • Flambé for a classic touch: Carefully ignite the rum to create an authentic Bananas Foster experience.
  • Choose firm bananas: Soft bananas will turn mushy too quickly.
  • Use a nonstick pan: This prevents the sugar from burning or sticking.
  • Swap the nuts: Pecans or almonds work well if you don’t have walnuts.
  • Go alcohol-free: Use apple juice instead of rum for a family-friendly version.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftover Bananas Foster  in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
