Banana Fritters

"The bananas make these fritters only slightly sweet, you could add in sugar if desired for a sweeter taste, they go perfect with roast pork loin or roast turkey or or chicken dinner. These are briefly browned in a skillet the finished in the oven to puff up. If you are doubling the recipe, prepare same amounts in separate bowls do not double into one recipe. These are really good!"

  1. My family went crazy over this recipe. I did make one change: I added imitation banana extract, which I often do with banana recipes, since the strength of the taste of old bananas can be variable. They were flavorful and a huge hit with the family! Served them with jerk chicken and cuban style rice.
     
  2. I would never have thought of making these little cornbread banana fritters. The were similar to cornbread patties with a strong banana flavor. They were a bit plain, but then I did leave out the cayenne pepper (I just don't like hot food). I made my fritters about the size of a peach, and got 13 fritters from a single recipe. Update: I actually liked these better the following morning. I used them as an easy on the run breakfast. I zapped them in the microwave for about 30 seconds, wrapped them in a paper towel, and they were a great finger food style breakfast.
