Crispy Fried Bananas - Banana Fritters

Step 1

Beat an egg in a small bowl, set aside. If you want to substitute the egg, you can mix 3 tbsp. of corn starch and 1/3 cup of oat milk in a small bowl instead. Banana fritters made with eggs will look more golden. But the tastes are very similar.

Step 2

Pour 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs to a small bowl, set aside.

Step 3

Peel a banana. Poke 5 toothpicks into the banana. Cut between each toothpick, so that we cut the banana into 5 (1 ½inch) chunks.

Step 4

Dip a banana chunk into the egg (or oat milk mixture), then dredge the banana chuck in the breadcrumbs, coating well. Then dip in the egg again, then back in breadcrumbs. Set aide. Repeat until all 5 banana chucks are coated.

Step 5

In a small milk pan, heat 1 cup of cooking oil until medium heat (about 350F). You can test the oil temperature by dropping some breadcrumbs into the oil. If it's medium heat they will make fine bubbles and spread throughout.

Step 6

Put banana chunks into the hot oil. Fry for about 3 minutes until they turn golden brown. If you use oat milk instead of eggs, the fried bananas will also be crispy outside, but not as golden brown as egg coated ones.

Step 7

Put fried bananas on a serving plate. Drizzle with honey, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate syrup, or top with some ice cream or cinnamon powder. Be careful it's very hot inside. Make sure you cool them down for at least 2 minutes before enjoying.
