Rum sauce
  1. Set stovetop to medium heat. Add olive oil. When hot enough, add sliced bananas.

  2. Drizzle peanut butter on pancakes. Pour rum sauce over pancakes. Add chopped walnuts, cinnamon dust on top. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

-Adding rum and using the flambé technique is completely optional!  Recipe will taste just as good even without it!

If you’re going to be adding rum, please be 21 years of age or older.

-Contrary to popular belief, even after a flambé, some alcohol will still remain in the dish.  If this is true, please be aware of this.

-PLEASE TAKE ALL NECESSARY FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS whenever introducing an open flame while cooking in the kitchen.  I am not a professional, I am not certified to teach you how to do this, and I won’t be responsible if anything bad happens.  (Sorry, just covering my ass here).  So please be EXTREMELY careful—-do some extra research, watch some Youtube videos, learn fire safety, learn proper technique, and/or have special supervision before even attempting to do this.  Please be careful guys, I cannot stress this enough!

-When adding the rum, never pour straight from the bottle!   Extremely flammable!  Measure the amount needed and pour from a separate glass/container instead.

–Keep hair, face, body, clothing, children, pets, flammable items AWAY from the heat source at ALL times!

-I used a stainless steel sauté pan for the flambé.  Not sure how a nonstick, teflon, ceramic, or an aluminum pan’s material will respond to the extra heat…

-Have a metal lid or a damp, wet towel at the ready to cover the flame, just in case of emergency.

-If you’re using a new jar of natural peanut butter, it’s probably still liquidy enough after you stir it so melting in the microwave may not be needed.
