Fried Banana Recipe

This fried banana recipe offers an interesting combination of food texture.

The cinnamon fried banana has a crispy texture on the outside layer with the softness surprise on the inside. With the addition of vanilla ice cream, a chilling savory taste meets crunchy, hot cinnamon flavoured banana! Quite the oxymoron isn’t it? (and a run-on sentence).

But believe it or not, it’s delicious! You’ll want to make them individually. Sharing is not recommended because it’s just that good ;)
