• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 12 nuggets

ingredients

• 1 banana, peeled and chopped into 12 disks
• 6 spring roll wrappers, thawed if frozen
• vegetable oil, for deep frying
• icing sugar, for dusting
• 12 small chunks chocolate (See Variations in directions) (optional)
• 12 small sliced cream cheese (See Variations in directions) (optional)

directions

1. Cut each spring roll wrapper in half.
2. Brush the piece of wrapper with water to soften it, place a piece of banana at one end and roll it up just like you were rolling a spring roll - don't worry about making it too neat.
3. Continue with all the rest of the banana pieces and wrappers.
4. Heat a lot of oil in a wok, pan or deep fryer.
5. Take a small square of the wrappers or a cube of bread to test if the oil is hot enough - if the oil fizzles around it and it crisps up quickly then the oil is hot enough.
6. Deep fry the wrapped bananas in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes or until they're browned slightly. Remove and drain on paper towel.
7. Roll them in the icing sugar and eat them immediately while they're nice and hot.
