Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola)

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, whipped cream, or ice cream

Instructions
 

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

    Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

      Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or skillet, pour enough oil to reach about 1-inch depth. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot (you can test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle).

        Fry the Bananas: Dip each banana slice in the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried bananas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

          Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

            Serve: Plate the crispy fried bananas and drizzle with the warm cinnamon butter sauce. Add any optional toppings like chopped nuts, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
