🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness with fewer calories.

Vanilla essence provides a similar flavor at a lower cost.

Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl using a fork.

Add brown sugar and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and combine.

Add all-purpose flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mixture and combine.

Gradually add water to achieve a thick batter consistency, not watery.

Heat oil in a frying pan until hot.

Scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.

Flip the fritters when the bottom starts to brown and air pockets appear on top.

Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
