Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Maple syrup or honey for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.

      Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

        Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom (about 1/4 inch).

          Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet, spacing them apart. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon if desired.

            Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully using a spatula.

              Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

                Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with maple syrup or honey.
