We share below a simple way of making banana fritters, in the style of pancakes. Just be sure to use ripe bananas [overripe ones are better], they will be sweet, mushy and you will need less sugar. Anytime I have overripe bananas that are too mushy to eat, I just make these fritters or a green smoothie. These fritters are made in a pan using very little oil just enough to grease the pan. You can use ghee if you are not a vegan.

Ingredients

• Overripe bananas 2
• Wheatflour / Jowar flour/ Rice flour 2 – 3 tbsp
• Sugar/ jaggery 1 tbsp [you may add more or skip this]
• Cardamom powder, a pinch
• Nutmeg powder, a pinch
• Oil/ Ghee for greasing the pan

Method

1. Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl, with a fork. Then add all the other ingredients and mix well.
2. Heat the pan and grease with oil or ghee.
3. Spoon the batter on the pan and form fritters.
4. Cover and let it cook on medium flame. Flip and cook the other side.
5. Serve hot

Tips

• If the fritters are sticking to the pan or not forming well, add a little more flour to the batter.
• You may also add some vanilla essence and chopped almonds to the batter.
• You could also skip the sugar/jaggery and while serving drizzle the fritters with honey instead.

Makes 12

Ingredients

• 200g whole wheat flour
• 50g plain flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• 25g brown sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 150g blueberries
• 2 large overripe bananas
• 3 tbsp honey
• 3 tbsp coconut oil [vegetable or rapeseed oil will also do]
• 1 egg, beaten
• 185ml buttermilk

Preparation method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tray with paper cases.
2. Prepare the dry ingredients by sifting together the whole wheat flour, plain flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder, sugar and salt.
3. Add the blueberries and mix well so they are all coated in flour.
4. Mash the bananas and mix with the honey, coconut oil, beaten egg and buttermilk.
5. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
6. Quickly mix them together, folding them well until just combined. It’s OK if there are traces of flour, as an under-mixed batter makes a lighter muffin.
7. Fill the paper cases and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
