Banana Lumpia

Print This Page

Banana Lumpia is my all-time favorite Filipino dessert.
A crispy shell filled with lightly sweetened, creamy banana. Delish!

This recipe calls for cooking bananas (saba), but if you don't live in the Philippines, they may be hard to find, and I wouldn't want you spending a lot of money to acquire them, so just substitute regular bananas.

An easy & delicious dessert!

Ingredients:
Ripe cooking bananas (saba)
Cinnamon & sugar
Lumpia wrappers; store bought or use the recipe below.

1. Cut ripe bananas in half lengthwise.
2. Dip each half in a mixture of cinnamon & sugar.
3. Wrap each half in one lumpia wrapper; you may have to double the wrapper if it seems to be breaking badly.
4. Heat oil; place lumpia carefully in oil, so not to splatter. Fry until crisp & drain on paper towel.
YUMMY!
