Mashed up overripe bananas mixed with whole wheat flour, brown sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla, and then fried until golden brown. Perfect for breakfast, afternoon snacks, or party food!Makes 18-22 fritters
Mash bananas with a spoon or puree them in a food processor or blender.
In a medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to the consistency of a creamy batter.
Finally, add the nutmeg and vanilla. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a large cast iron skillet with oil ½ inch deep on medium-high heat (375℉/190℃) until hot but not smoking.
Scoop up the batter and fry in batches, turning once, until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Don't overcrowd the pan, as it will cause the fritters to become soggy and absorb excess oil.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Serve warm.
