Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

Vegetable oil (for frying)

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
 

Begin by peeling the bananas and carefully slicing them diagonally into about 1-inch thick pieces. Set aside.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth to create a batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the bananas but not too thick that it won't adhere.

      Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it's hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

        Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated. Gently place them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.

          Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

            In a separate saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the ground cinnamon and brown sugar, stirring until well combined and heated through.

              Drizzle the warm cinnamon butter sauce over the fried bananas and toss gently to coat.

                Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the contrast of crispy bananas with the sweet, buttery sauce.
