Banana Fritters

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 24 fritters

Ingredients

For the banana fritters:

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 medium/small bananas (or 2 large), chopped

For the cinnamon glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Fill a Dutch oven about 3-4 inches deep with canola oil. Set over medium heat and cover. This should take about 20 minutes to heat to 350 degrees. But do temperature checks occasionally to monitor. Grab a baking sheet and line with paper towel or a rack. Set aside.
  • Add eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla to a small bowl. Whisk together. Set aside. Place flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk together until combined. Add in wet ingredients and fold together. Add in chopped bananas and fold until combined.
  • Once the oil is 350 degrees, use a cookie scoop to scoop batter and release into hot oil. Do this about 5 more times. Cook for 4 minutes or until the fritters are a deep golden brown. Flip once or twice to fry the fritter evenly.
  • Once the fritters are done, remove from the oil and lay onto prepared baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the rest of the batter until gone.

Glazing the fritters:

  • Once the fritters have cooled a little, it's time to dip in cinnamon glaze. Whisk all the glaze ingredients together until smooth. Dip a fritter into the glaze and roll until coated. Remove and let excess glaze drip off. Place fritter on a rack and repeat with the rest of the fritters. Let them set for a few minutes and then enjoy!
