Calories 369kcal
Ingredients
- 4 Very ripe bananas
- 60 g Plain flour
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
- ¼ tsp Ground cinnamon
- pinch Salt
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and break them up in a bowl. Crush it using a fork or a masher.
- Add the other ingredients except for cooking oil. Mix until you get a soft paste, similar to the pancake batter but not as runny.
- Add cooking oil to the frying pan at medium heat. The oil should not cover the fritters in the frying pan. When the oil is hot, scoop portions of the batter mix with a tablespoon and add it to the oil.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked on the inside.
Notes
- It’s best to use an overripe banana. The riper the banana, the sweeter it is and the easier it is to crush.
- You may have to turn the heat down once you dd the banana batter to the oil to prevent the fritters from burning before cooking.
