Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup cold water (adjust as needed for batter consistency)

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil) for frying

Optional: Powdered sugar for a light dusting

Optional: Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or peanuts) for a crunchy garnish

Optional: Vanilla ice cream for a delightful serving option

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

    Gradually pour the cold water into the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you form a smooth batter. Aim for a consistency that is thick yet pourable; adjust with additional water if necessary.

      In a frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it shimmers, indicating it's hot enough for frying.

        Take each banana slice and dip it into the batter, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.

          Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Monitor them to avoid burning.

            Once cooked, remove the fried bananas and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

              In a small saucepan over low heat, add the brown sugar and gently melt it, stirring frequently until it starts to caramelize. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

                Drizzle the warm caramelized brown sugar generously over the fried bananas while they are still warm to create a sticky-sweet glaze.

                  For an extra touch, dust the bananas with powdered sugar and sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.

                    Serve the crispy caramelized fried bananas immediately for the best experience, and consider pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a rich and indulgent dessert.
