Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite flavored variety)

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 pinch of salt

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Optional toppings: Chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or fresh fruit

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and cutting them in half lengthwise. Next, slice each half into strips about 1 inch wide for optimal size. Arrange the banana slices on a tray lined with parchment paper, then place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

    Make the Yogurt Coating: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with a pinch of ground cinnamon to enhance the flavor. For added sweetness, you may also stir in a drizzle of honey or agave syrup if desired. Mix until smooth and well combined.

      Prepare the Churro Coating: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, the remaining ground cinnamon, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure all ingredients are mixed well to achieve an even distribution of flavors.

        Fry the Banana Slices: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Carefully take the frozen banana slices and dip each one into the yogurt mixture, making sure they are evenly coated on all sides.

          Coat with Churro Mix: After dipping in the yogurt, roll the banana slices in the churro coating mixture, gently pressing to ensure that the sugary flour mixture adheres nicely to the yogurt layer.

            Fry until Golden: Once coated, slowly place the banana slices in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color and a crispy texture. Use a slotted spoon to remove the churro slices from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

              Serve: While the churro slices are still warm, drizzle with your choice of chocolate or caramel sauce. If desired, add fresh fruit on top for a delightful touch. Enjoy the churro slices immediately for the best texture, or you can serve them with additional yogurt on the side for dipping!
