Simple & Delicious Deep Fried Banana Fritters!

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content while cake flour provides a lighter texture.

sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is dairy-free, while water reduces cost without affecting the batter's consistency.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal is a vegan option, while egg substitutes can be more economical.

Prepare the batter by mixing 200 g of plain flour, 100 g of corn flour, a pinch of salt, and some sugar in a bowl.

Add cold water to the dry ingredients until you reach a thick crepe-like consistency, about 300 ml.

Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and then into smaller pieces, adding them directly into the batter.

Coat the banana pieces in the batter thoroughly.

Heat oil in a thick-based cast iron wok until it is hot enough, indicated by fizzing when a wooden chopstick is placed in the oil.

Carefully lay each battered banana piece into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the wok.

Fry the fritters until golden brown, then remove them to drain on paper towels.

For a crispier texture, increase the heat and fry the fritters a second time until they are golden brown and crispy.
