Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter plus ½ cup, at room temperature, divided
- 1 medium ripe banana, halved lengthwise and crosswise

- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Whole-wheat bread slices, toasted, for serving (optional)

2. Cut the bananas into quarters and place them in the pan with the cut sides down.
3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the bananas.
4. Cook them for about 10 minutes, gently stirring so they don’t stick, and flip them once, until they’re soft and slightly browned.

6. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
7. Add cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and the remaining softened butter to the bowl.
