Ingredients:

  • 3 medium ripe bananas (about 450g)
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 1 cup (125g) breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 2 cups or as needed)

Instructions:

  1. Peel and slice the bananas into fry-sized pieces (approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick).
  2. In one bowl, mix flour with a pinch of salt. In the second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs with half the cinnamon sugar (reserve the rest for sprinkling later).
  3. Dip each banana slice into the flour, coating lightly. Next, dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
  5. Carefully place a few coated banana slices in the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the fries using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, sprinkle with the reserved cinnamon sugar.
  7. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
