Coconut Banana Fritters
These fritters serve as an excellent way to utilize ripe bananas, combined with the rich flavor of coconut. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, delivering a mouthwatering experience that is hard to resist.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- ½ cup of shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- ¼ cup of sugar
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup of milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully blended. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this may result in dense fritters.
- Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of the batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it is ready for frying.
- Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring that you do not overcrowd the pan. Fry on one side until golden brown, which should take about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Once golden brown, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat the frying process until all the batter is cooked.
- Serve the fritters warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey, if desired. Enjoy your homemade Coconut Banana Fritters!
