Ingredients:
Instructions:
Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the flour mixture to the mashed bananas. Pour in the milk and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir until all components are well combined to form a thick batter.
In a large skillet or frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom (about 1/4 inch deep). Heat the oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.
Using a spoon or a small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, leaving some space between each fritter. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of the spoon.
Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Drizzle the warm fritters with the maple syrup. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tips:
- Ensure the bananas are ripe, as this will enhance the sweetness and flavor of the flittas.
- Do not over-mix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Over-mixing can make the flittas dense instead of fluffy.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle to prevent the flittas from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook the flittas over medium heat to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the inside is fully cooked.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, and don't forget a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Spiced Jamaican banana flittas with maple syrup are a delicious way to start your day or enjoy as an afternoon treat. With their perfect blend of bananas, spices, and a hint of maple, these flittas are sure to become a new favorite. Follow these tips and steps to create a batch of fluffy, flavorful flittas that will bring smiles to everyone at the table.
