Directions
Skewer the bananas with popsicle sticks. Whisk the egg and then whisk in the milk. Dip each banana in the egg then toss in the bread crumbs to coat. Repeat the process to create a second coating. Heat oil to 365 degrees and drop in the bananas, moving them around to brown evenly on all sides. Place on paper towels to drain.

Dust the banana fritters with confectioners' sugar. Drizzle chocolate peanut butter sauce over bananas or use as a dipping sauce.

These are fantastic! I just made them for my family for dessert 30 minutes ago, and they were a smash hit! They are warm and tropical and comforting. The chocolate/peanut butter sauce is excellent with them. The panko crumbs really are the best thing for this...light, crispy, and just plain perfect! I loved making these, and we all loved eating them. They are easy as pie (easier to make and take hardly any time. Another success from Gale! Try these, everyone...you will not be disappointed.
