The most important ingredient in Banana Bliss Fritters is, of course, the bananas themselves. Choosing the right bananas is crucial for achieving the best flavor and texture. Ripe bananas, characterized by their yellow skin and a few brown spots, are ideal for this recipe. The natural sugars in ripe bananas caramelize beautifully when cooked, providing a rich sweetness that complements the crispy exterior of the fritters.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

Oil for frying (vegetable or coconut oil)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth.

    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together.

      Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

        Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

          Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter and drop it into the hot oil, leaving space between each fritter. Fry in batches if necessary.

            Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to flip them and remove when cooked.

              Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat until all batter is cooked.

                Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top. Enjoy your delicious Skillet Banana Fritters!
