Ingredients
1. Ripe Bananas (4) 2. Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (1 cup) 3. Milk (1/2 cup) 4. Eggs (2) 5. Baking Powder (1 tsp) 6. Sugar (1/3 cup) 7. Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp) 8. Salt (a pinch) 9. Oil for frying (2 cups)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add milk and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix well to form a thick batter. Fold in the mashed bananas into the batter until fully incorporated. In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the banana batter into the hot oil, carefully frying 3 4 fritters at a time. Cook for 2 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried fritters onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and enjoy!
