Ingredients:

  • 10 mini bananas (or large-sized cut in smaller pieces)
  • 1/4 cup of plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
  • 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour if needed)
  • 1/4 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Peel the bananas and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and flax seeds to make a flax egg. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until thickened.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish or plate.
  5. Dip each banana in the flax egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, then dip again in the flax egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining bananas.
  6. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the bananas in batches until golden and crisp on all sides, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels and serve hot or cold.
