Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams rolled oats
• 30 grams brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 60 ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (melted)
• 0 as desired optional toppings (e.g., powdered sugar or maple syrup)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.

Step 3

Add the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. Mix until you achieve a thick batter consistency. If the mixture is too wet, add a small amount of additional flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more milk.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to create fritter shapes.

Step 6

Bake the fritters in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden on the edges and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup before serving. Enjoy your oven-baked banana fritters warm or at room temperature!
