ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar (optional)

Method

  • Step 1

    Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. You can leave some small lumps for added texture.

  • Step 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  • Step 3

    Add the dry ingredients to the mashed banana mixture.

  • Step 4

    Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Step 5

    Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the banana batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  • Step 6

    Remove the cooked fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

  • Step 7

    Dust the banana fritters with powdered sugar for an optional touch of sweetness.
