Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 100 grams all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 130 milliliters cold sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Slowly add the cold sparkling water into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
Add the honey and vanilla extract to the batter and whisk well to combine.
Peel the bananas and cut each one into 3 equal pieces to create manageable chunks.
Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Place the coated banana pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Lightly spray the banana pieces with non-stick cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the bananas are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving. Serve warm as a dessert or a snack.
