Ingredients

• 4 large bananas, cut in half then sliced the long way into 3 slices. (Each banana should yield 6 slices)
• 2 large eggs, scrambled
• 1 C crushed corn flakes (I pulsed mine in my blender)
• 1/2 C packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 C (approximately) vegetable oil for frying bananas
• 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 1 C brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
• 1/4 C Dark Rum, optional (the alcohol will get cooked out of it)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ¼ tsp. cinnamon

Directions

• (I like to start by making the sauce first because you dont want your fried bananas to sit too long.)
• In a medium pan, melt butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and rum on stove over medium heat. Cook and stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved. About 5-10 minutes once it begins to bubble. Once sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and add vanilla and cinnamon. Pour into a serving dish and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan to about 350 Degrees F on a candy thermometer. (You may need to adjust heat slightly as you cook)
• While oil is heating.
• Mix the crushed corn flakes, brown sugar and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
• Dip banana pieces in the scrambled egg to moisten then dip in corn flake mixture to coat. Place on a clean tray and set aside.
• Before you begin to fry your bananas have a large cookie sheet with a large cooling rack ready. You will want to place your fried bananas on the rack to cool. (It will keep them more crisp than if you let them drain on a paper towel.)
• Place a few bananas in the heated oil at a time. Dont overcrowd them. Let it cook for about 20-30 seconds on one side then flip and cook on the other side for the same amount of time or until they begin to brown. Keep a close eye on them so they dont burn. Use a slotted spoon to remove them to your cooling rack. Continue to cook all of your bananas. Serve immediately as they will begin to get less crispy as they sit.
