Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or flavored yogurt of your choice)

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon baking powder

A 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 ripe bananas and slicing them in half lengthwise. Next, cut each half into strips approximately 1 inch wide. Arrange these banana slices on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 2 hours, or until the slices are solid and firm.

    Make the Yogurt Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with a pinch of ground cinnamon to add a lovely flavor twist. If you desire extra sweetness, feel free to mix in a drizzle of honey or agave syrup for a delightful touch.

      Prepare the Churro Coating: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, the remaining cinnamon, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure the mixture is well combined for an even and flavorful coating.

        Fry the Banana Slices: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, take the frozen banana slices and dip each slice into the yogurt mixture, ensuring every piece is well-coated.

          Coat with Churro Mix: After the banana slices are coated with the yogurt, roll them in the churro coating mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well to the yogurt layer.

            Fry until Golden: Carefully place the coated banana slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the churro slices to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

              Serve: While they are still warm, drizzle the churro slices with either chocolate sauce or caramel sauce. You can also add fresh fruits on top for a burst of flavor. Enjoy immediately for the best texture, or serve with additional yogurt on the side for dipping!
