Put a medium-sized skillet on medium heat and melt the butter. Stir in the cinnamon, dark brown sugar, vanilla, and rum. Let it bubble gently, then toss in banana slices and nuts.

Allow the bananas to caramelize for about four minutes per side, flipping gently to keep them intact and avoid sticking.
03 -
Take the skillet off the stove and pour the warm mixture over scoops of vanilla ice cream right away.

If using a gas stovetop: Follow the same steps but skip the rum initially. Shut off the burner, pour in the rum, then relight the stovetop. If flames don't catch, carefully tilt the skillet until they do. Let the fire die down while shaking the pan lightly.
