Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

½ cup milk

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Vegetable oil (for frying)

½ cup unsalted butter

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid over-mixing.

    Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if it's ready by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

      Fry the Bananas: Dip each sliced banana piece into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered bananas into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on paper towels 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, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbly; this should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

          Serve: Arrange the fried bananas on a serving platter, drizzle generously with the cinnamon butter sauce, and serve warm. If desired, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
