Ingredients

Scale

Fritters Batter Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe bananas (bright yellow with small brown spots)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan option)
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying, approx. 2 cups)

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice or vanilla extract (optional)
  • Water or milk, as needed to reach desired glaze consistency

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth but slightly chunky for texture. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder. Slowly pour in the milk and egg, mixing until a thick batter forms. Gently fold in the mashed bananas to combine all flavors.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer, heating it to about 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot enough to create a crispy coating quickly but not so hot as to burn the fritters before cooking through.
  3. Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally to achieve golden brown on all sides. Each batch takes about 3–4 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Make the Glaze: While fritters cool slightly, mix powdered sugar with a splash of lemon juice or vanilla extract and enough water or milk to create a smooth, pourable glaze. Adjust the consistency to your liking for drizzling.
  5. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze generously over warm fritters or dip each fritter in the glaze. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe bananas for rich sweetness and ideal moisture.
  • Maintain oil temperature between 350°F (175°C) to avoid greasy or burnt fritters.
  • Do not overmix batter; keep some lumps for a light texture.
  • Adjust glaze consistency slowly by adding powdered sugar or liquid to avoid too runny or thick glaze.
  • Serve fritters warm immediately after glazing for optimal taste and texture.
