Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- Powdered sugar or honey for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- Frying: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove the fritters from the oil, drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying.
- Ensure the oil maintains temperature for even cooking.
- For variation, add chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips to the batter.
