Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar (for coating)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vegetable oil (for frying)

For Cinnamon Butter Sauce:

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Breading: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract.

    Coat the Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the milk mixture first, then coat it with the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

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

        Fry the Bananas: Carefully add the coated banana slices to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, mixing until combined. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and stir until the sauce is smooth and well-blended. Allow it to simmer for a minute or two.

            Serve: Arrange the fried banana slices on a serving plate and drizzle with the warm cinnamon butter sauce. For an indulgent touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, if desired.
