⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (or as needed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

Prepare Bananas

Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Prepare Batter

Add the dry ingredients to the mashed bananas. Mix well.

In another bowl, beat the egg and add milk. Pour this mixture into the banana-flour mixture and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If too thick, add a little more milk.

Heat Oil

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You need enough oil to submerge the fritters halfway.

Fry Fritters

Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, a few at a time. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.

Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain

Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve

Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.

Enjoy your meal!
