Preparation
- Peel the bananas and slice off the tops and bottoms to create a straighter middle section. Save ends for later.
- Insert a popsicle stick into the middle of each banana and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the bananas until solid, about 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana ends with a fork until smooth.
- Add the sugar, vanilla, oil, and egg. Mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix again until smooth.
- In a large pot, heat the oil to 325°F (170°C). Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet and line with paper towels.
- Pour the banana bread batter into a tall glass.
- When the oil is hot, dip one of the frozen bananas into the batter until completely covered. Keep the rest of the bananas frozen until ready to fry.
- Fry the bananas, one at a time, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the fried bananas to the towel-lined rack as they are done.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with melted chocolate and caramel sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy!
