One of our favorite parts of going to Tucanos is their fried bananas. These are seriously so addictive. Forrest and I have been dying to make some at home, and decided that today was the day to do that. And let me tell you, they taste pretty darn close. So if you aren’t lucky enough to live near a Tucanos, at least know that you now can make one of their best items at home.

4 large bananas – ripe, but not brown
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup Panko + 1 cup
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp sweetened coconut flakes (optional)
1/3 cup water
1 egg 3/4 cup coconut oil (or vegetable)
