Ingredients

• peanut oil, for frying
• 2 bananas
• 8 small flour tortillas*
• toothpicks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup cream
• 8 ounces (1 and 1/4 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• big pinch salt
• strawberries, to garnish

Directions

• In a high-sided skillet, add the peanut oil. Turn the burner on to medium and heat for at least 5 minutes.
• Slice the bananas in half, then slice lengthwise. You should have 8 banana quarters.
• Tightly roll each banana in a tortilla and secure with toothpicks (see photos).
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Dump it onto a large plate. Line another large plate with paper towels.
• Test the oil by adding a small scrap of tortilla. If it immediately starts to bubble, the oil is ready.
• Add the wrapped bananas 4 at a time. Fry for 1 minute, then flip and fry for one more minute, or until light brown.
• Remove the churros to the paper-towel lined plate, but only for a few seconds. Transfer them soon after to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat the churros well. Remove the toothpicks.
• Repeat with the remaining bananas.
• To make the chocolate sauce: Add 1 cup cream to a medium size microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for 1 more minute, or until the cream starts to bubble on the edges.
• Immediately add the chocolate chips and peanut butter to the cream. Let sit for about 1 minute, then use a whisk to stir until it is smooth. Add a big pinch of salt and combine. (If you dont like peanut butter, add 2 tablespoons butter instead.)
• Dip the churros in the sauce and garnish with strawberries.
