Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling 2-3 overripe bananas and placing them in a mixing bowl. Mash the bananas until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined.
  3. Allow the banana batter to rest for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Place a skillet over medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of oil or butter. Wait for the oil to shimmer.
  5. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the banana batter into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Carefully flip each fritter and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
