  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying

  • We're going to make this one Bicolanos style, so I like to slice the bananas in half and use them as whole pieces. You can, of course, cut them into smaller pieces and mash them with the back of your fork. If you use ripe bananas, that shouldn't be too much work.
  • Dip the banana into the mixture and make sure it's fully covered. You can also place the banana on a small plate and put some batter on it while it's on there.

  • Place the covered bananas in a heated pan with oil, and add some more of the batter on top so it drips over the sides.
  • Fry on each side on medium heat until golden brown. Mmmm!
