Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are combined.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to the mashed bananas. Gently fold the mixture until just combined.

Step 4

Pour in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and everything is well incorporated. The batter should be thick, but still fall off the spoon easily.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You’ll know the oil is ready for frying when a small drop of the batter sizzles and rises to the surface immediately.

Step 6

Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the fritters on one side until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to look cooked, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the fritters with a slotted spoon or spatula and cook on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve warm, adorn with your choice of toppings such as powdered sugar, syrup, or fresh fruit for added flavor.
