Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 6 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut sugar and vanilla protein powder, stirring until well mixed. Set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until the oil reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Using tongs, carefully place the banana halves into the hot oil. Fry them for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Once the bananas are fried, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and immediately toss them in the coconut sugar and protein powder mixture. Ensure they are well-coated.
Thread each banana piece onto a bamboo skewer.
Optional: Sprinkle each banana skewer with a dash of cinnamon powder for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your high-protein snack!
