1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup pecan pieces
1 large banana, diced small
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 1/4 cups flour
drizzle of 100% cane syrup
1 pinch cinnamon
vegetable shortening, for deep-frying

1
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter; add the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly to dissolve, for about 1 minute.

Add the pecans and continue to cook for 1 minute, then add the bananas and vanilla; now cook that for 1 minute.
3
Remove pan from the heat.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, milk and baking powder to make a batter; add the flour, 1/4 cup at the time, beating until it all is used and the batter is smooth.
5
Now add the banana mixture to the batter and fold to mix.
6
In a pot that is deep enough to safely deep-fry, heat the shortening to 360F; season with cane syrup and cinnamon.
7
Drop the batter, a heaping tablespoon at a time, into the hot oil.
8
When the beignets pop to the surface, roll them around with a slotted spoon in the oil to brown them evenly.
9
Remove and drain on paper towels.
10
Immediately sprinkle the beignets with icing sugar (powdered sugar) and make sure you serve the beignets warm.
