Ingredients
  

4 ripe but firm bananas

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)

1 tablespoon sugar

Oil, for frying (vegetable or coconut oil works well)

For the Cinnamon Butter Sauce:

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into thick (about 1/2 inch) slices. Set aside.

    Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, stirring until you have a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the bananas. If too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

      Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour in the oil to about 1-2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should bubble immediately.

        Fry the Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the batter, letting the excess drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

          Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.

            Serve: Arrange the crispy fried bananas on a serving plate and drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon butter sauce. Optional: top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture.
