Classic Fried Bananas Topped with Cheese

It’s nice to have a fried snack every now and then. It’s certainly fine, provided it’s not an everyday habit. I rarely make snacks like this—sometimes not even once a month. I only make this kind of fried treat when I happen to have bananas on hand.

These classic fried bananas topped with cheese are perfect for an afternoon snack, especially paired with black coffee. Oh, it’s absolutely delicious! I made time to whip this up after gardening. I needed a mood boost after putting so much energy into my garden work, hehe.

They are incredibly easy to make, of course. I used gluten-free flour, but you can use the standard all-purpose flour you usually use for frying foods.

The Ingredients

A few bananas (not overly ripe; adjust the quantity based on how much batter you have)
3 tablespoons rice flour
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
A pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Cooking oil (as needed)

Cooking Instructions

Use firm bananas. There are many varieties of bananas in my area—some are best eaten raw when ripe, while others are perfect for frying. Ideally, you want ripe bananas that still have a firm, dense texture rather than a mushy one. Using bananas that aren't overly ripe ensures they won't fall apart or turn into a soggy mess during frying.

I sliced the bananas into rounds, but you could also simply cut them in half lengthwise. Just choose the method that’s quickest and easiest for you in the kitchen so the process doesn't become tedious. :)

Prepare the batter. Combine all the flours, baking powder, and salt, then mix well.

Next, add the water to the flour mixture and stir until smooth. If the batter isn't thick enough, add a little more water.

Heat the oil for frying. Then, add the banana pieces to the batter. I’m frying three pieces at a time to create a nice shape.

Fry the bananas over medium heat—avoid high heat, as this batter causes them to burn quickly. I fry them for two minutes per side, though the exact timing depends on the type of pan you use.

Flip the bananas over. Make sure they turn a beautiful golden brown, then remove them from the pan and let them drain.

SERVING

Serve the Classic Fried Bananas with your favorite toppings; I’m using cheese. Enjoy your Classic Fried Bananas topped with cheese while they’re still warm.

A simple yet meaningful afternoon. It’s been quite a while since I’ve enjoyed a deep-fried treat like this. It feels great—and not excessive, since the rest of the batch is for others.

I only ate two pieces, but that was enough to give me a real energy boost. Thank God.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Best Regards, Anggrek Lestari

I would never have thought to put cheese with bananas ever!

You have made me very curious now though! I think I am going to have to try this out. ~~I would NOT have only eaten 2 though!!!😁~~

They seem so fast to cook too, which means even if they are not planned, you could make them at a moments notice, which is always a bonus!

Hope you and yours are doing great 😎🌻🤍

Banana with cheese? Such an unexpected (in a good way) mix.

Looks like a nice recipe, @anggreklestari.

Look so yummy.. i will try this! My kids love to eat bananas. Thanks for sharing.

There are really so many different recipes you can make with bananas. Here in the Philippines, the most common ones are probably banana cue or maruya. But what you cooked is something I’ve never seen here in the Philippines, it’s quite different from the way we usually prepare bananas. Fried banana with cheese? Hmm, that sounds interesting!

The way the food is being presented is juat wonderful. In my place we usually take the long plantations for frying, but this also sounds good. Kudos to your cooking dear friend.

The look delicious! I have never fried a banana before. :)
