Ingredients
Scale
Banana Fritters:
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- vegetable oil for frying
For Topping (Optional):
- powdered sugar or honey
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fry the Fritters: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of rum or a handful of shredded coconut to the batter.
- These fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a toaster oven.
