Made with ripe bananas, a light batter, and deep-fried to perfection, these fritters are irresistibly delicious. Serve them with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup milk
