Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into two pieces to create shorter lengths.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Dip each banana piece into the flour, coating it completely, then shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured banana piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
Finally, roll the banana piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to help the coating stick. Repeat this process for all banana pieces.
Arrange the coated banana pieces on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter over the coated bananas to help them crisp up, or lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray for a lighter option.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bananas are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
