Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 60 milliliters milk
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In the bowl with the mashed bananas, add the milk, large egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

Step 5

In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Scoop tablespoons of the banana batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the banana fritters warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey or maple syrup.
