Skillet Banana Fritters

Instructions:

1. Mix the batter:
   • In a bowl, mash the bananas.
   • Add the egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
   • In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
   • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture to form a thick batter.
2. Heat the skillet:
   • Pour oil to cover the bottom of a skillet (about ¼ inch). Heat over medium until hot.
3. Cook the fritters:
   • Drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flatten slightly.
   • Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
4. Drain & serve:
   • Place cooked fritters on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
   • Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, or drizzled with syrup or honey.

💡 Tips:

• Use very ripe bananas—they mash easily and are sweeter.
• Add a few chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts for variety.
• Keep cooked fritters warm in a low oven while frying the rest.
