Ingredients

Scale

3 ripe bananas (mashed)

2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup whole milk (or plant-based alternative)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by gathering everything on your countertop.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but slightly chunky.
Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and optional cinnamon to the mashed bananas. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering—about half an inch deep.
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides—approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain excess oil and serve warm with honey or syrup.
