Ingredients​

• For the Banana Bread:
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
• For Frying:
  • Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola)
• For Coating (optional):
  • Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting

Instructions​

1. Make the Banana Bread Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
   • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
2. Heat the Oil:
   • In a deep pot or fryer, heat oil to about 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the balls.
3. Form the Balls:
   • Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) from the banana bread batter.
4. Fry the Balls:
   • Carefully drop a few balls into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the balls and drain them on paper towels.
5. Coat and Serve:
   • If desired, toss the warm banana bread balls in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Serve them warm.

Tips​

• Serving Suggestions: These are delicious on their own or served with a side of chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or whipped cream for dipping.
• Storage: If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container, but they're best enjoyed fresh!

Hello all I think deep-fried banana bread balls sound amazing! They must be so soft and gooey on the inside, though I might need to save them for a special treat!
