Method
Preparation

Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter. It should be thick but pourable.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added.

Dip and Fry
Take a slice of the banana and dip it into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place it into the hot oil. Repeat with several slices, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook Until Golden
Fry the banana slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve
Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious fried bananas!
