Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or more, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (or any plant-based milk)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth but slightly chunky.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Beat the eggs and add them to the banana mixture, along with the vanilla extract and milk.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Spoon heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly.
- Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm with powdered sugar or honey.
Notes
- Sugar Adjustment: If your bananas are very ripe and sweet, reduce the sugar amount.
- Flavor Variations: Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra warmth.
- Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serving Tip: Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for crispy texture.
