A delightful dessert that turns ripe bananas into a heavenly snack with a crunchy, sugary exterior and a warm, soft interior.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 ripe bananas
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (or a plant-based alternative)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil (for frying)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract until well blended. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Working in batches, dip each banana slice into the batter and carefully place them in the hot oil.
Once the bananas are golden brown and crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
While the fried bananas are still warm, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish and toss the warm bananas in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
Serve your Easy Cinnamon Sugar Fried Bananas warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
