Banana Fritters
Description
The Banana Fritters recipe blends eggs, milk, and melted butter with a dry mix of flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Chopped ripe bananas fold into the batter, giving the fritters bursts of soft fruit and sweetness. The fritters are fried in vegetable oil at 350°F until golden and cooked through, resulting in a crisp outside and tender inside.
The accompanying glaze, made from powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon, is applied after frying, adding a shiny, sweet coating with a warm spice note. The fritters can be served warm for a satisfying snack or dessert. They provide a pleasant combination of textures and flavors from the mild spice, banana fruitiness, and sugar glaze.
Ingredients
Fritters
- 2 egg at room temperature
- ⅔ cup milk at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon butter melted, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 ripe banana chopped
- vegetable oil for frying
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Add the chopped bananas to the bowl and mix to combine.
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2-inches of vegetable oil to the bottom of the pot and heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion 3-4 scoops of the fritter dough into the hot oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping often until golden brown.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them onto a paper towel-lined tray to drain. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Once the fritters have cooled make the glaze whisk whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. Dip the fritters into the glaze and then place on a wire rack over a baking sheet to let any excess glaze run off.
