Perfect for those following a keto, low-carb, or gluten-free lifestyle, this recipe brings a sweet crunch to your table without compromising on flavor.
Start by peeling the green bananas and cutting them into diagonal slices, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, ground cinnamon, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the unsweetened almond milk until you get a smooth and consistent mixture.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the banana slices well.
Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep in the pan.
Once the oil is hot enough (approximately 350°F or 175°C), dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is thoroughly coated, and gently place it in the pan.
Fry the banana slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they become golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fried banana slices from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low-carb crispy fried bananas as a delicious and guilt-free treat.
