Ingredients You’ll Need

Bananas (slice them into bite-sized pieces)
Pancake Mix (your favorite brand will do)
Cinnamon Sugar (a delicious mix of cinnamon and sugar for that churro flavor)
Powdered Sugar (just a dusting for an extra sweet touch)
Melted Chocolate (for the ultimate indulgent dip!)

How to Make Churro Banana Bites

Slice and Prep: Slice the bananas into bite-sized pieces. Keep them a bit thick so they hold up while frying.
Coat with Pancake Mix: Dip each banana slice in pancake mix until it’s fully coated. The pancake mix adds a light, fluffy texture to each bite.
Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a pan and carefully fry the coated banana bites. Fry in small batches and turn them until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Toss in Cinnamon Sugar: Once they’re fried, immediately toss the banana bites in a bowl of cinnamon sugar while they’re still warm. This way, the cinnamon sugar sticks perfectly!
Dust with Powdered Sugar: For a little extra sweetness and presentation, dust a bit of powdered sugar over the top.
Serve with Melted Chocolate: Melt some chocolate and serve it on the side as a dip. The warm chocolate takes these bites to the next level of deliciousness!

Tips and Tricks

Keep Bananas Firm: Use bananas that are ripe but firm so they hold up better when frying.
Work Quickly: The cinnamon sugar sticks best when the banana bites are still warm, so toss them right after frying.
Dip & Drizzle: If you’re a chocolate lover, drizzle some melted chocolate right over the top instead of dipping – or do both!

These Churro Banana Bites are seriously addictive, with just the right amount of sweetness, crunch, and a hint of cinnamon. They’re the perfect treat to share with friends and family (or just keep all to yourself – no judgment here!). Whether you’re whipping these up for a cozy night in or a fun party snack, these little bites are sure to be a hit.
