Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
- Sift in the all-purpose flour and mix until the batter is fully combined.
- Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the banana fritter batter into the oil.
- Fry the fritters until one side turns golden and bubbles appear on the top. Then, carefully flip the fritters and cook until the other side is evenly browned.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the banana fritters warm and enjoy their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior.
Notes
For added variety, you can experiment with different toppings such as powdered sugar, cinnamon-sugar dusting, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Ensure that the oil is hot enough before frying the fritters to achieve a crispy texture.
These fritters are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Reheat them briefly in the oven to restore their crispiness.
