Fried Banana Recipe

One of the best banana recipes is fried bananas made of sweet, overripe bananas and a simple batter.

I personally think that deep fried bananas are way underrated. They are delicious, healthy and perfect as a dessert or afternoon snack.

This is an easy battered fried bananas recipe that yields extra crispy coating, with caramelized bananas inside.

They are the best!

Frequently Asked Questions

In addition to the batter ingredients in the recipe, I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of rice flour to the frying batter.

Yes, you sure can. Just follow the instructions and air fry in your air fryer for equally amazing results.

Heat up a small pot with 2-3 inches oil on high heat. The oil is ready when it's fully heated with a swirl of smoke coming from the surface.
Gently drop each piece of banana into the hot oil. Deep fry the bananas in batches. Turn the bananas over so both sides turn golden brown in color and become crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas out of the oil, drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Repeat step 4 until bananas are used up. To serve, dust some powdered sugar on top of the bananas. You may also serve with maple syrup and chocolate sauce.

To make an extra crispy batter you said to add rice flour. Is that regular rice flour or sweet rice flour (mocha flour/glutinous rice flour)?
