3-Ingredient Filipino Banana Cue Recipe for Your Afternoon Snack

In a large frying pan, fill the pan halfway with oil and heat. Once the oil is hot, put a ½ cup of brown sugar in the oil. Make sure the oil comes up to at least half the height of the bananas depending on what size pan is used.
Peel the bananas and set aside. Once the sugar looks melted in the pan and is floating, place the peeled bananas in the frying pan.
Fry each side of the bananas for 2-3 minutes. As the bananas fry, consistently spoon the oil and sugar over the banana until golden brown.
Flip the bananas to the other side and add the remaining ½ cup of brown sugar to the pan. Continue to spoon the oil and sugar over the bananas until browned. Don't fry more than 5-6 minutes in total.
Transfer the fried bananas to a wire rack to cool. Carefully put the bamboo skewer through the banana until the halfway point. Serve warm. Don't leave the bananas on the wire rack for too long as it may start to stick and become difficult to skewer.

The serving size will depend on the bunch of saba bananas. For my measurements in this recipe, I had 7 bananas.
Watch the bananas carefully when frying! The reason why is the brown sugar with the banana can burn super-fast. My trick is to consistently spoon the oil and sugar on top of the banana, and to rotate the bananas in the pan to cook evenly until golden brown.
When transferring to the wire rack, the bananas will continue to slightly cook and darken as it cools. Refer to Sam’s Pro Tips for this Filipino Banana Cue Recipe for further details.
Enjoy this treat warm! Reheat in a toaster oven to prevent sogginess. Be sure to remove the skewer stick to be safe.
