Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Green bananas (unripe, small)
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Begin by peeling the green bananas and slicing them into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract to make the egg wash.
Dip each banana slice first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it evenly in the almond flour mixture. Press lightly to ensure the coating adheres well to the bananas. Place the coated slices on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil (or avocado oil) over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of the coating sizzles when added.
Gently place the coated banana slices in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Cook the banana slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once fried, remove the banana slices from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried bananas warm as a keto-friendly dessert or snack.
