Mash 2 ripe bananas in a bowl using a fork until smooth, about 3/4 cup of mashed bananas.

Add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla essence, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg to the mashed bananas and mix until the sugar is barely felt.

Check the sweetness of the mixture and add more sugar if necessary, based on the ripeness of the bananas.

Add 0.5 cup of flour to the mixture and mix until you achieve a pancake-like batter consistency.

Heat oil in a frying pan on low heat.

Spoon out the batter into the hot oil, making sure to keep the stove on low to avoid burning the fritters.

Fry until golden brown around the edges, about 2-3 minutes, checking as cooking times may vary by stove.

Turn the fritters with a fork for easier handling, being careful not to scratch the frying pan.

Once golden brown on both sides, remove the fritters and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

Let the fritters cool slightly before serving.
