If the bananas are not ripe enough, poke some holes through the skin with a fork and microwave for 30-45 seconds before mashing them.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon or nutmeg, and vanilla.

Add the mashed bananas and water (if needed) to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the fritters for about three minutes, watching them carefully as they brown quickly.
