Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 large bananas, (super ripe (1½ cups mashed))
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾-1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2-4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Confectioners sugar ((optional))
  • ½ teaspoon salt, (or more to adjust to taste )

Instruction

  • Mash bananas with spoon or puree bananas in food processor or blender.
  • In a medium bowl, mix mashed bananas, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to the consistency of a creamy batter.
  • Finally add nutmeg and vanilla. Let it rest for 10 minutes,
  • Heat the oil about ½ inch deep in a large skillet (cast iron is perfect) on medium-high heat (375℉/190℃) until shimmering hot but not smoking.
  • Scoop up the batter and fry in batches, turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan (it will cause the fritters to be soggy and absorb excess oil).
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters and place them on paper towels to drain.
  • Serve warm.
