Banana Wontons With Coconut Sauce

Wontons filled with banana and cinnamon, fried and served with a coconut-y sauce. Lower fat and sugar version of a recipe i've wanted to try for a while. The banana and sweetened coconut give these plenty of sweetness for me, but you can add 2 t sugar to the banana and 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar to the sauce if you like. Nice snack or dessert. This made just over a dozen wontons, though my bananas were on the small side so i'm guessing it would make 16 with larger bananas.

Steps

Make wonton filling by mixing the banana , cinnamon and 1 t coconut in a bowl.

Lightly mash with a fork as you mix , but leave it a little chunky.

Set aside.

Make sauce by putting 3 / 4 c of coconut milk in a pan and heating on med-high.

While this is heating , mix remaining 1 / 4 c coconut milk with cornstarch till smooth.

Add to pan and stir constantly till thickened a bit and starting to bubble.

Remove from heat and stir in the 1 / 2 c coconut flakes and coconut flavoring.

Set aside.

Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of filling on a wonton wrapper.

Moisten edges of wonton with finger dipped in water and fold it in half to form a triangle.

Press the edges together firmly.

Repeat with remaining wontons , keeping folded wontons under a damp towel to prevent from drying.

Put about a t oil in a fry pan and heat on medium to med / high heat.

Add wontons in batches to avoid crowding and fry about 2 minutes on each side till lightly browned.

These can also be deep fried.
