Peel the bananas. Slice each banana diagonally into thick slices, about 1 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the coconut milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Carefully place the coated banana slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
While the bananas are still warm, sprinkle them with desiccated coconut for extra flavor and texture.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Vegan Crispy Fried Bananas!
