Delicious Jamaican Banana Fritters Recipe for Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup milk (or coconut milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups oil (for frying)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt.

    Ensure bananas are fully ripe for the best flavor.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.

    Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle.
  3. Fry the Fritters

    Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown on both sides.

    Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature.
  4. Drain the Fritters

    Once golden, use a slotted spoon to remove fritters and drain on paper towels.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy

    Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or paired with syrup.

    Great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
