Main Ingredients
- 6 pieces Saba bananas Can substitute with plantains.
- 1 cup Brown sugar Better for caramelizing.
- 12 pieces Spring roll wrappers Also known as lumpia wrappers.
- 1 cup Jackfruit Optional but adds flavor.
- 1 cup Vegetable oil For frying.
Instructions
Wrapping
- Peel the saba bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Add a slice of jackfruit if desired.
- Lay a spring roll wrapper out like a diamond and place the banana and jackfruit on the bottom third.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the bananas.
- Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the fruit, then fold in both sides, then roll up to seal.
- Seal the top corner with water.
- Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a pan until hot but not smoking. Add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar to the oil.
- Gently slide the wrapped rolls into the pan and cook, turning gently until all sides are golden brown and crisp.

Notes
Best served hot. Store cooled rolls in an airtight container and reheat to regain crispiness. Serving with vanilla ice cream is recommended for an extra treat.
