Banana Fritters
Recipe by Courtney Roulston
Ingredients
4 very over-ripe bananas, mashed with a fork
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
2 cups plain flour, sifted
2 tsp baking powder
sea salt to taste
½ cup milk *(use coconut milk for dairy free option)
2 free range eggs
¼ cup icing sugar for dusting
1 tsp ground cinnamon for dusting
oil for frying
Method
Mix the mashed banana, maple syrup and vanilla together in a large bowl.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and eggs into the banana mixture and mix well to combine a smooth batter.
Heat enough oil to deep fry the fritters in a deep-sided pot to 160-170 degrees C.
Place tablespoon sized balls of the batter into the oil and let them cook for 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to carefully turn the fritters over onto the other side to evenly cook and become golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Drain the fritters onto kitchen paper to remove any excess oil. Place onto a serving platter and dust with icing sugar and cinnamon before serving.
*You can serve fritters on their own, or top with icing or chocolate sauce.
