Banana fritters

Banana fritters are a delightful and easy-to-make treat perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack. This recipe combines the sweetness of ripe bananas with the crunchy texture of bread crumbs and a hint of cinnamon for an irresistible dish.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup bread crumbs
44g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tsp cinnamon
5g
3 bananas
360g
1 tbsp butter
16g
2 tsp olive oil
9g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coating:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas. Cut each banana in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into thirds, so you have about six pieces per banana.
3. Coat the Bananas:
- Dredge each banana piece in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated.
4. Heat the Pan:
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture starts to sizzle.
5. Cook the Fritters:
- Carefully place the coated banana pieces into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, and adjust the heat if necessary.
6. Serve:
- Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately while they are warm and crispy.
7. Optional Toppings:
- For an extra treat, you can drizzle honey or sprinkle additional cinnamon over the top before serving. Whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream can also be delightful accompaniments.

Tips:

- Choose ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

- Make sure to evenly coat the banana slices with the bread crumb mixture for a consistent crunch.

- Cook the fritters over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.

- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste, as banana fritters are most delightful when warm and crispy.

Banana fritters are a simple yet delectable way to enjoy bananas in a new form. The combination of sweet, tender bananas and crispy, cinnamon-spiced bread crumbs is sure to be a hit. Follow these tips and steps, and you’ll have a delightful treat ready in no time.
