Banana Fritters (Belizean Banana Flittaz)

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used to adjust batter consistency.

Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl using a bottle.

Add 0.5 cups of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 0.5 teaspoons of nutmeg, 0.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas.

Start with 0.5 cups of flour and mix until combined, then add more flour as needed to achieve a looser batter.

Add evaporated milk to loosen the batter further until it reaches the desired consistency.

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over low heat until ready for frying.

Using a spoon, scoop batter into the hot oil carefully.

Fry the fritters for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Drain the fritters on paper towels or another surface to remove excess oil.
