These were a favorite of mine as a child growing up. Bananas that were as tad too ripe were always turned into fritters or used to make banana nut bread. Banana fritters are great on their own, dusted with powdered sugar or like mini pancakes with a little butter jam or syrup. I have also enjoyed these with mango sorbet or ice cream.
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas (or 3 medium bananas)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- A dash of grated nutmeg
- Oil for frying
Directions
In a large bowl, mash peeled bananas with a fork
In a separate bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg
Add milk, eggs, and vanilla to the mashed bananas and mix
Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and combine
Heat oil in a frying pan (I used just enough to cover the pan and added more as needed)
Use a large spoon to scoop portions of the batter and drop into the hot oil
Fry on each side until golden brown (about 2 minutes each side). Watch carefully and regulate heat as they can burn easily
