Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

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

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vegetable oil for frying

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of nutmeg

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

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

      Fry the Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the batter, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Carefully remove the fried bananas with a slotted spoon and transfer them 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. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.

          Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle the warm cinnamon butter sauce over the fried bananas, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve immediately.
