Denise at An English Girl Rambles mentioned having carmelized bananas with her oatmeal and I decided to try making carmelized bananas. I topped mine with whipped cream and they disappeared. It is a good idea for a simple, quick dessert. Here is the recipe as described by Denise (thanks Denise!):
'add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or brown sugar) to a large sauté pan. Once it is sizzling add the sliced bananas. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, then flip over gently and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. They should be a nice golden brown by now.'
