Easy Banana Fritters

Made in under 20 minutes these Easy Banana Fritters make the perfect snack or dessert. Super soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy golden brown on the outside make these irresistible bites of deliciousness.

Easy Banana Fritters

Today I decided to use those overripe bananas sitting in the fruit bowl in something other than a delicious loaf of banana bread. The next delicious recipe that comes to mind is this really super easy banana fritters. Mixed in one bowl, fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar, a really quick and easy recipe.

You know, I love snacking on these  fritters just warm and rolled in cinnamon sugar, it is so good, but give it a try served with vanilla ice cream and take these to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Easy Banana Fritters

These easy banana fritters are just that, easy to make, and here are a few tips to guarantee perfection

  1. Do not overmix the batter. Just until combined is perfect. Overmixing will result in dense, heavy fritters.
  2. The best bananas to use in this recipe are the overripe ones. These give the fritters a sweeter taste and soft, fluffy texture.
  3. The oil should be at the correct temperature before frying. Too hot and it will burn the fritters and too cold you will end up will soggy, oily fritters. To test if the oil is at the right temperature, drop one teaspoonful of the batter into the oil. Cook for about a minute on each side. When you remove it from the oil, allow it to cool for a few seconds before breaking the fritter in half. It should have a soft, bread like texture on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
  4. Roll in the cinnamon sugar while still warm.
  5. These fritters are best eaten warm and on the same day that it has been prepared.

    Guess what?! I’ve got 3 overripe bananas that NEED to be used. Woo! I found the perfect recipe. The kids would go crazy over them, and if there is banana in them it’s pretty much a healthy snack, right!? Cheers, friend!

    What a fun and tasty sounding fritter. We make apple fritters in the fall, but I’ve never tried banana. Seems easy to prepare and a great way to use the overabundance of bananas we usually have.

    Wow this recipe takes me back Ashika. Banana fritters? I haven’t had them in ages. Indeed not since I was in Dundee (where I was brought up in Scotland) 20 years ago. I’m pinning this and hope to make these in the New Year!

    My mother in law makes these fritters often and we indulge every time. But, i really like the cinnamon sugar coating on top. Makes a humble fritter taste like a donut. Yum.

    Had some ripe bananas and wanted a change from banana bread. Great recipe, just as good as they sound and two thumbs up from the teenage boy – plus “are there any more?” always a good indication!
