Caramelized Banana Fritters
These banana fritters come together with just a handful of ingredients, but taste like pure comfort. Soft, banana-rich centers, crisp golden edges, and a warm brown-sugar caramel that soaks right in—they’re quick, perfect, and almost impossible to stop eating.
Ingredients
Caramel Sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup water
Banana Fritters
- 4 ripe bananas
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup flour
Instructions
Caramel Syrup
- For the caramel syrup, simply add the brown sugar and water to a pot over medium low heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Banana Fritters
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the bananas and mash with a fork until liquidy. Add the brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and flour and give it a good whisk until smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375F. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil—taking care not to splash! Fry each fritter until golden, about 1½ mins, flip over and fry the other side, another 1½ mins.
- Transfer to a cooling rack. While the fritters are still warm, drop into the prepared caramel sauce and allow to soak.
- Enjoy warm!
