Ingredients
- 4-5 very ripe bananas
- 250g/2 cups self-raising flour
- 50-100g/¼-½ cup sugar (optional depending on how sweet you want your fritters)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1½ tbsp rapeseed oil
- 200ml soya or almond milk
- Raisins or sultanas (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Crush the bananas in a bowl then add the rapeseed oil, vanilla extract and grated nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together and then add them to the banana mixture.
- Add a little milk until the consistency is slightly thicker than a pancake batter. If using raisins then add them at this stage.
- Using a little oil, fry the fritters in a non-stick pan. When the edges start to bubble and become brown, flip them over. Make sure they are thoroughly cooked on both sides.
- Serve them as they are or enjoy with a good drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit and vegan ice cream.
