I’ve done deep fried bananas a lot of different ways! This is our favorite. These really are terrific, when your feeling like giving yourself a little treat, you should try it out. We prefer to use the baby bananas cause they are so sweet and well just delicious. And you can’t beat that nice yellow color right?! Large Bananas work fine though. You really need a silicone mold for this. I just love this Epicure silicone mold, I use it for a variety of things. These are great with just the banana in them. But we like to do a couple different flavors. Smooched Bananas I did 15 small put into my 1 1/2TBSP serving silicone mold.
I then topped all with some nutella. Banana and chocolate goes so well together. Took a wooden kebab stick and mixed it all in.
Then here comes our yummy fillings. I picked chocolate chips, coconut & crushed walnuts. Just a little bit on top mix that in too with wooden stick. Now this has to go in freezer and get frozen! Well that freezes you can work on your batter.
1 1/2CUPS all purpose flour 1TSP baking powder 1/4TSP baking soda 1/4TSP salt 3/4CUP water or more Combine 1CUP of flour, baking powder, soda & salt in a bowl. Gradually blend in water til smooth.Should be pretty thick. Little thicker then pancake mix.
I find the the bananas thaw fast so I only take a few out at a time. Take out of silicone. With remainder of flour give them all a roll through flour, lightly shake off excess flour, dunk in batter. I use a fork for this, to remove from batter and place in 375F oil deep fry 3-5 minutes. Flipping til sides are all golden brown. Lay out on paper towel to remove excess oil.
You could roll these in a cinnamon sugar, or sprinkle them with icing sugar or have ice cream with them. We like them just how they are!
Had some batter left so did some whole baby bananas, rolled these in some cinnamon/sugar after fried. Let us know what you think.
We bought this silicone pan second hand. I love it. We use it for a variety of things. You can find it here
