Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (or more as needed)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Start by peeling the ripe bananas and placing them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until they are smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, mixing well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the fried banana balls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Once all the batter is fried, serve the fried banana balls warm, dusted with powdered sugar or with a side of honey for drizzling if desired.
