Banana Fritters
Great way to use up those leftover bananas! These yummy fritters work perfectly for breakfast, or as a snack, or even for dessert!! You can either sprinkle some powdered sugar over them, cinnamon sugar, drizzle them with syrup or honey, or have them with a lovely scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas - peeled and mashed with a fork then drizzled with lemon juice to prevent discoloration
- 1/4 cup sugar add more if you like them sweeter
- 1 egg lightly whisked
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 2 tbsp. rice flour optional as this gives an extra crunch
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla essence
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Beat the sugar, egg, vanilla and cinnamon until very nice and frothy. Add the mashed bananas and mix until well incorporatedWhisk the flour with the salt and baking powder, then gently add it into the mixture and stir. Add your milk a little at a time, until the mixture is of a consistency whereby you can pick and shape into balls using a spoon. If you need more than a quarter cup, it’s ok…go ahead and add. Don’t let the batter get too watery though! 🙂Heat some oil in a pan, then gently using two spoons, pick a small amount of batter and ease it into the hot oil. Keep the heat on low coz they get brown very quickly. Try getting the fritters small so that they get done nicely. Once the underside is brown, gently turn them over.Remove and drain on tissues, then serve with chopped fruits, icing sugar, cinnamon sugar, syrup, honey or ice-cream. Soooo yummy!
Hmmmm…never tried this before. Shall do some day, since they seem to take my attention :).
salaam sis, any substitute for an egg or can we omit egg??
W/Salaam, hmm I’ve never tried without the egg. Try substituting with 2 tbsp of yoghurt. Make half the amount and see how the results turn out. The egg helps give the fritters a light quality, so am not sure on whether you can achieve the exact same results without the egg.

Can we keep the batter
Can we keep the batter refrigerated for around 3-4 days?

I would not recommend it as
I would not recommend it as bananas tend to oxidise and change colour with time. Your batter will turn a greyish colour if you store it that long.
Oh ok..can I toast it?
