Instructions

Combine the brown sugar, water, ripe banana, and ground cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Allow the mixture to simmer and use a fork or potato masher to break down the banana into small pieces.
Continue simmering for about 5 minutes, ensuring that the sugar fully dissolves.
Place a fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup and carefully pour the syrup through, pressing out as much liquid as possible and discarding any pulp.
Stir the vanilla and butter extracts into the strained syrup.
Let the syrup cool completely, then transfer it to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until needed.

Notes

Use a very ripe banana for the best flavor.
Feel free to adjust the level of cinnamon to suit your taste.
This syrup works well in various drinks, so try it in your morning coffee or over pancakes!
