Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon stevia
- 6 pieces bamboo skewers
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe saba bananas and set them aside.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before proceeding.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut flakes, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, and stevia. Stir well to ensure the mixture is evenly mixed.
Step 4
Insert a bamboo skewer into the middle of each banana lengthwise, ensuring it goes through most of the banana to hold securely.
Step 5
Carefully lower two to three skewered bananas into the hot coconut oil and fry, turning occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are evenly cooked.
Step 6
Remove the fried bananas from the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 7
While the bananas are still hot, sprinkle the coconut mixture generously over each banana to coat them evenly, allowing the natural stickiness of the banana and residual oil to help the mixture adhere.
Step 8
Repeat the frying and coating process for the remaining bananas.
Step 9
Let the bananas cool slightly before serving to ensure they are firm enough to hold by the stick without breaking.
Step 10
Enjoy your sugar-free banana cue as a healthy snack or dessert!
