Description

Fried banana fritters are a delightful dessert made by combining mashed bananas with flour, sugar and cinnamon, then frying until golden brown.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas until they are smooth with minimal lumps. Ensure the consistency is even to make mixing easier.

    Tip: Use overripe bananas for a naturally sweeter flavor and smoother texture.
  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure the baking powder and cinnamon are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

    Tip: Sift the flour to remove lumps and create a lighter batter.
  1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mashed bananas, stirring gently with a spoon or spatula until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters light.

    Tip: If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or milk alternative to adjust the consistency.
  1. Heat the Oil

    Deep frying pan or medium saucepan, pour enough oil to reach about 2 inches in depth. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping it in a small piece of batter - it should sizzle and float to the surface.

    Tip: Maintain a consistent oil temperature to ensure even frying and prevent greasy fritters.
  1. Fry the Fritters

    Using a spoon, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, keeping them spaced apart to avoid sticking. Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

    Tip: Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  1. Drain the Fritters

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried fritters to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow them to drain any excess oil and cool slightly before serving.

    Tip: Sprinkle a little sugar or cinnamon on the fritters while they are still warm for extra flavor.
  1. Serve and Enjoy

    Arrange the banana fritters on a serving plate and serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chocolate syrup, caramel or a dollop of whipped cream.

    Tip: Serve immediately for the best crispy texture and a warm, soft center.
