Ingredients
- 3 Bananas
- 1 cup Pancake Mix
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- Vegetable Oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the bananas into 1/2 inch thick slices. This size is perfect for ensuring each bite is cooked through and easy to handle.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and egg. Whisk these together until you have a smooth, well-blended batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the banana slices without dripping too much.
- Prepare a plate lined with paper towels next to your cooking area. This will be used to drain the bites once they’re fried.
- Pour vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pan with high sides until it’s about 1/2 inch deep. Heat the oil to 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit—using a thermometer helps in maintaining the right temperature for perfect frying.
- Dip each banana slice into the prepared batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, carefully place each coated slice into the hot oil.
- Fry the banana bites for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they turn a lovely golden brown. It’s important not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Once fried, remove the banana bites from the oil and place them on the prepared plate with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Finish by dusting the warm bites with powdered sugar. This not only adds an extra layer of sweetness but also gives them a tempting, snow-dusted look.
- Serve your Fried Banana Bites warm, with options for caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or even a scoop of ice cream for a decadent treat.
