Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into two pieces to create shorter lengths.
Step 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Dip each banana piece into the flour, coating it completely, then shake off any excess flour.
Step 5
Next, dip the floured banana piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
Step 6
Finally, roll the banana piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to help the coating stick. Repeat this process for all banana pieces.
Step 7
Arrange the coated banana pieces on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
Step 8
Drizzle the melted butter over the coated bananas to help them crisp up, or lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray for a lighter option.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bananas are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
