Description

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

Ingredients
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • oil (for frying)
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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
