Vegan Bananas Foster

Recently, I decided to make Vegan Bananas Foster.

My recipe is based on the classic Brennan’s Restaurant of New Orleans Bananas Foster recipe that my dad used to make for me as a kid.

Bananas Foster (vegan, GF)

serves 4, generously

1 c brown sugar

1/4 cup butter, coconut oil, or Earth Balance

2 Tbsp Pumpkin Butter, optional

2 Tbsp Maple Syrup

2 Tbsp Water

1 Tsp Cinnamon

1/4 cup banana liqueur

2 to 3 ripe, but not over-ripe, bananas – halved and sliced lengthwise

1/4 cup dark rum

4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Combine butter, pumpkin butter, maple, water, cinnamon in a large skillet and cook over low to medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum and use caution when doing so! When the flames subside, remove the bananas from the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately. Leftover sauce may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (I doubled the sauce recipe in the photos below)

A step-by-step guide:

Pumpkin butter, butter, water, cinnamon, maple syrup and brown sugar in skillet

Low heat to melt

Spoon stirring Vegan Banana Foster ingredients in pan while melting

I think the Banana Liqueur is just above Listerine in terms of hangover potential.  But in a recipe like this, priceless.

So go ahead and add 1/4 c Banana Liquor.

Add 2 diced & sliced bananas. The Brenan’s recipe calls for 4, but honestly…

…I didn’t really make this recipe to eat bananas.  I made it for the juice!  That juice, in there.

Allow the bananas to cook & soften for a couple mins while drowning them in the lovely alcoholic sugar brine.

Then, add 1/4 c dark rum.  I maybe added more like 1/3 c.

Cook another couple mins.  Or don’t.

Just grab your matches and Light Up.

Sorry I didn’t get a pic while the pan was lit up like KMart with the Blue Light Special Flame going on cuz I didn’t wanna burn my kitchen down so I was more concerned about the cooking than the camera.  You understand.

The final de-flamed result?  Uh-huh baby!!!!!

You could pour this hot goodness over banana vanilla softserve.

Or, I poured it into a container to eat later after it’s chilled in the fridge.

Or you could eat most of it at once, and catch a buzz.

  2. OH I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Halloween!
    we never go to any parties (we don't know anyone who throws adult parties like that) but would be fun!

    and YES I would so dress up..and not just cuz I can't the other days…HAHAHA

    can you create some other kind of crumble? more of a dish instead of cookies?

    That's what I need..something I can make and share with 6 or 8 people…Holidays are coming.. I want to spread the raw goodness and share!

    I know you can! you're a dessert genius…(how about a carmelized yam dish! ) hahaha

    later chickie dee

  3. Once again…drooling all over the keyboard..

    How ironic that you mention Halloween parties – I haven't been to one in years, but I was thinking that this year I'd love to go to one or have one here. I was talking to Chris about having our own since Halloween is on a Saturday this year, but then he told me he's working that night. Not that I couldn't still have one, but I feel bad throwing a party knowing that he'll walk in the door at 1am having been at work sincec 10am that morning…??

  4. Thanks for the reminder , although I didn't need it because I had the pictures ingrained in my mind : ) My fave, want to try, is the raw samoas, yum!

    I don't do Halloween so no dress up for me : (
