Banana Fritters

Recipe by Farzana Kumandan @sprinklesandspicect

Ingredients:

4 - 5 ripe soft bananas

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar

2 eggs

½ heaped cup flour

A pinch of salt

Method:

Mash the bananas, vanilla essence, and cinnamon sugar until mushy and creamy.

Whisk your eggs in a large bowl; add in the banana, flour, and salt. Mix until well combined. Spray a frying pan with spray and cook and warm on a low heat. Once warm, add in 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl it around the pan to coat it. Add a tablespoon of batter and use the back of the spoon to slightly shape it. Fry for 3 - 4 minutes on a low heat until golden brown, and flip and fry. Transfer to a paper towel to soak up the excess oil and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while it's hot.
