Tips:
- When choosing bananas for Irish Bananas, select ripe, firm, and unblemished fruits.
- To achieve an even coating of breadcrumbs, make sure the banana slices are dry before dredging them in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Use a medium-high temperature for frying the bananas to ensure a golden brown and crispy exterior while preventing the insides from becoming overcooked.
- For a healthier version, consider baking the bananas instead of frying them. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve Irish Bananas with your favorite toppings, such as honey, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
