Description
Crispy Fried Bananas are a delicious treat made by frying banana slices in a sweet batter until golden brown and crispy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be smooth but thick.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until hot (around 350°F).
- Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil.
- Fry the banana slices in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried bananas with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut to the batter or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Experiment with spices by adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the batter for extra flavor.
