Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk (or almond milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the sauce)

Pinch of salt

Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional, for garnish)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and granulated sugar. Gradually add milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat for frying (about 1/4 inch deep).

      Fry the Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Carefully place the coated bananas in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

        Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and stir until melted and well combined. Allow to simmer for about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened.

          Serve: Arrange the fried bananas on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle the warm cinnamon butter sauce over the fried bananas. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts and a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while still warm, and enjoy your delicious Fried Bananas with Cinnamon Butter Sauce!
