    Banana Bread Churro Bites

    Banana Bread cut into cubes and fried, served with an ice cream dipping sauce. Banana Bread Churro Bites recipe served with a vanilla ice cream dipping sauce. Hey Guys! I hope you’ve all enjoyed our week of banana bread! We’re wrapping things up with banana bread churro bites….yep! We’re serving our bites with a dipping sauce that’s basically melty ice cream and espresso…so good! I can’t take credit for this crazy and totally decadent dessert. I had something very similar at A-Frame in Culver City! A-Frame is one of the few restaurants owned by bad-ass chef Roy Choi (swoooon! I have a thing for chefs, tis’ true). The cocktails at A-Frame are out of this world and the food….whoa. Their Air-Dried Hoisin Ribs? Okay! Beer Can Chicken? YUM! Swordfish Tacos with pickled this and awesome that? YesYesYes! Finally, there’s the churro style banana bread sticks with some sort of melty ice cream sauce! While I’m sure his sauce is more complex then some ice cream and coffee, I think I did pretty well with the churro banana bread! Turning them into bites just make it easier to pop into your mouth and the whole melty sauce thing? Sort of feels like you’re dipping cookies in milk x100…pretty awesome. ;)

    If you’re a little squeamish about deep frying your banana bread,  I would toast them in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes, before spraying them with a light coating of cooking spray and tossing them in the cinnamon-sugar mix. The cinnamon sugar may not stick quite as well, but they’re still really good nonetheless! Hope you all make these this weekend! Enjoy!

      I know it’s been a WHILE…but any idea of these still taste as good (or close) the next day or even ~6 hours after frying?

        These are actually the best when eaten fresh + I don’t generally recommend pre-frying them for later

      What sweet holy foodporn amazingness is this?!!? Now if only my apartment came with an oven so that I could make banana bread. Another one I’ll have to save for when I’m back home in the UK and be content with this coming into my dreams……

      LOVE. THIS. CANNOT WAIT. Thanks for putting an alternative to deep-frying–not only do I want to not eat all the oil, but deep frying in my brand-new apartment would be a sad day for the kitchen, I’m sure!

      I don’t know what intrigues me more, the twist on the churros/banana bread or the dipping sauce!
