💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornstarch can create a lighter batter.

💰Cheaper: shredded coconut

Toasted oats provide crunch with fewer calories, while shredded coconut is often more affordable.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Peel and cut the bananas into halves.

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, wheat flour, custard powder, salt, and baking powder.

Add margarine (or butter) to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Gradually add water to the mixture until a thick batter is formed.

Dip the banana halves into the batter until well coated.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Carefully drop the coated bananas into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
