1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup coconut oil, for frying
→ Optional
10 -
Chopped nuts (peanuts or walnuts) for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Gradually add cold water, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter that's thick enough to coat the banana slices.
02 -
Heat coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches approximately 175°C (350°F).
03 -
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring full coverage. Gently place the battered bananas into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
04 -
Transfer the fried bananas to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon to remove excess oil.
05 -
While the bananas are still warm, sprinkle them generously with brown sugar, allowing it to melt slightly to create a sweet glaze.
06 -
If desired, top with chopped nuts for added texture. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor experience.
# Notes:

This crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside dessert is best served immediately after preparation for optimal texture contrast.
