Ingredients
Scale
Fritter Batter
- 2 medium small ripe bananas
- ¼ cup – ½ cup all-purpose flour (plain flour) (buckwheat flour works as a gluten-free alternative)
- ¼ cup blueberries
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon (optional)
For Frying
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Mash the ripe bananas thoroughly in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the flour and cinnamon, if using, to create a thick batter. Then, halve the blueberries and gently fold them into the batter to distribute evenly.
- Heat the Pan: Place a medium to large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook the Fritters: Lower the heat to medium. Using a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the frying pan. Slightly flatten each spoonful with the back of the spoon to form fritter shapes.
- Fry Until Golden: Cook the fritters for about 1 to 2 minutes on the first side until they turn golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip each fritter and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side to ensure they are cooked through and evenly browned.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with buckwheat flour.
- You can adjust the amount of flour between ¼ to ½ cup depending on the size and moisture of the bananas to get the right batter consistency.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little powdered sugar or drizzle with honey/maple syrup when serving.
- The fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven for a short time.
- Using a non-stick pan and moderate heat helps prevent burning and ensures even cooking.
