Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then further cut each half into thirds to create small banana pieces.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl. Crack and beat the eggs in the second bowl. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.
Dip each banana piece into the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated, then shake off the excess.
Next, dip the floured banana into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off.
Finally, coat the banana piece in the cinnamon-sugar breadcrumbs mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to the banana.
Place the coated banana pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Lightly drizzle the melted butter over the top of the coated bananas for added crispiness.
Bake the bananas in the preheated oven for 18β20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve as-is or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat.
