Sniff, sniff…milkshake week is over! I can't believe it. Be sure to scroll all the way to down and click over to all of the great milkshakes our friends shared today, especially Lindsay's Cherry Lambic Beer Milkshakes (woah!). And the giveaway, the giveaway!
This milkshake is the shake that started it all for me. I wanted to make fried banana milkshakes a few months ago…inspired by my brown butter peach milkshakes from last year.
I love love bananas. Banana candy (think laffy taffy), banana bread, banana muffins, bananas in smoothies, bananas with peanut butter, everything. So why not bananas in a milkshake but kicked up several notches?
Brown butter is so pretty, isn't it? It only takes a few minutes to brown butter. Don't take your eyes off that pan!
Bananas after they went into the skillet with the brown sugar.
Look at that…
I even scooped some of the brown butter and put it on top and served it with the milkshake, because brown butter is life and I had to.
These shakes are little because they are rich and you need them in your life. Boom!

This looks amazing! I made some deep fried banana spring rolls this weekend and have a bunch (literally) of frozen bananas in my freezer. Just curious if the recipe will turn out the same if I use frozen bananas? Or if they’ll be too soggy and ruin the consistency of the milkshake? 🙁 Thanks!
Medeja says
How interesting.. i have never tried frying bananas for milkshake 🙂
Nina says
Made these today – but I didn’t want to wait for the bananas to cool so they came out more like smoothies than milkshakes. But I have to say they were delicious!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Tracy | Pale Yellow says

YES PLEASE!!! I freaking love this idea! I often put fried bananas on ice cream, but haven’t thought to milkshake-ify it. YES!
Bri | Bites of Bri says
This reminds me of my favorite island drink called a bumpin banana! I love bananas, especially when paired with browned butter:)
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
I SO love fried bananas. I’d have trouble putting them into the shake!! But this needs to happen…maybe with Shelly’s splash of Rum! 🙂
Rebecca {foodie with family} says
These have to be to be indulgent and fabulous. I WAAANT! And I second Shelly’s call for an “oops! splash” of rum!
shelly (cookies and cups) says
oh my word, I can’t even imagine how delicious these are!! I might even add a splash of rum for good measure 🙂
