Ingredients

• 4 pieces ripe but firm bananas
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cups breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and cut them into halves lengthwise, then cut each half into two pieces crosswise, resulting in 4 pieces per banana.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth.

Step 5

In a third shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs and stir them with the melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 6

Take one banana piece at a time and dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 7

Place the coated banana pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between them to allow even cooking.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the bananas with non-stick cooking spray to help the breading crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bananas are golden and crispy, flipping them over halfway through the baking time.

Step 10

Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy them as a snack, or use them as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes.
