Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 bananas, cut in half
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 2-3 cups oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Wrapper: Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter in the center of each egg roll wrapper to ensure a creamy base that complements the banana.
- Add Banana: Place half of a banana on top of the peanut butter in each wrapper, ensuring the fruit is centered for even rolling.
- Fold the Wrapper: Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then fold the bottom up over the filling, and finally roll tightly to form a neat egg roll shape.
- Seal the Edge: Use a small dab of water on the edge of the wrapper to secure and seal the egg roll, preventing the filling from leaking during frying.
- Heat the Oil: Heat 2-3 cups of oil in a deep pan to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, preparing for frying the egg rolls.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, rotating frequently to achieve a light golden and crispy exterior on all sides.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the fried egg rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil and cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is around 300°F for even frying without burning.
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushy filling.
- Egg rolls can be served warm for the best taste and texture.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for variations.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or air fryer for crispiness.
