Banana Caramel
When you just need a little banana caramel hit...this is super simple to make and goes really well on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, porridge!
I have never been one to not over do it. You probably know that about me. So given the opportunity to add banana caramel to anything, I am there. I am not sure where this idea started, but I made it once, had to show you, and then we did a live video (attached) about it. Dry caramel is a super simple thing to do and I make them a lot for pralines or even my peanut butter. Adding in awesome butter is never hard for me either...
This sauce can be made without the banana, just a plain salted caramel sauce then, or add other fruit. They will vary in success based on acidity and so on. But watch this space, chocolate, coffee, passionfruit, raspberry caramels are all on my hit list.
YUM... go give them a go!
