Battered Banana Bites

What do you eat when cookies, muffins, pancakes, or a plain banana just won't do? Makes these unique, healthy, vegan, battered banana bites. A perfect and quick snack for one!

Battered Banana Bites
1 large banana, peeled (I actually used a still frozen one)
1/3 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup milk (nondairy)
2 Tablespoons water
1 Tablespoon blackstrap molasses or maple syrup
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon coconut oil

Slice the banana into about 10-12 rounds. 
Mix all remaining ingredients together except the oil. It should be pancake-batter consistency, so add more flour or water as needed to reach this.
Heat in the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until melted. 

Using your fingers or a fork, dip the banana slices into the batter, coating them completely. Add to the hot pan and cook until batter firms up like a pancake, is golden and crisp. Flip, and cook the other side. 

Serve sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, molasses, chocolate sauce, chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter, or whatever our heart desires! Serve immediately, as the outside will be crisp and the inside will be soft and bananay, but the entire package will turn mushy once cool.
