Jamaican Banana Fritters Recipe
I really enjoy the recipes that have been passed on to me from my mom. This is one of them. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do.
This recipe is a way to use bananas that no one wants to eat because they have become brown and will continue to sit there until they get tossed.
Cook Time
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4-1/2 cup milk/water depending on thickness of mix
- optional 1 dash (pinch) nutmeg (secret ingredient) don’t overdue very strong spice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil/olive oil, for frying
- Mixer/ hand blender/Potato masher if doing by hand
- Measuring cup/spoons
Instructions
- Mash up bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- Add sugar, vanilla, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and continue to mix until smooth and easy to pour. It should not be runny.
- Add flour, milk/water and continue mixing.
- If content is stiff or too thick, add a small amount of water- less is best- mix again until smooth.
- turn burner under frying pan on med heat until hot. Add enough oil to fry several fritters.
- Use a large spoon to scoop some of the batter into the oil. The same principles for making pancakes apply but make small ones so that they will fry quickly.
- Brown each side until cooked. Keep heat at a level where they won’t burn easily.
- For that extra sweet tooth sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top or honey or enjoy it just the way it is. Yum!!

I'm bookmarking this one, they look so yummy I wish I had seen this hub before I went to the grocery store.
dohn~ my daughter (she's 10)made these and yep, they're good. Hope you like them when you do try them.
Jerilee~ We like them too much. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you, Chris. These look so good. I'm headed out to Saturday Market for bananas right now!
Lol, something prepared a little different for you.
I just made a banana cream pie because I have too many ripe bananas - now I can make these too! Thanks for the great recipe!
SoftCornHippo ~ Mmmmm, that sounds yummy too.
Wow - these look delicious. I'm going to try these for sure. This is the first time I've heard of banana fritters.
Wow, your daughter is a pastry chef in the making :) These look like banana pancakes...love them :)
That's true, eh. Yeah, she really love to cook and bake.
hey, where's my sample? Those look darn tasty!
callmefoxxy, my pen is a mighty sword!
Will you make those when we go to Jamaica? They won't make my butt swell up will they? A woman with a big butt is okay but I'm a 100 years old and it gets hard carrying my butt up hills. Butt- if you make them I'll add them to my butt.
callmefoxxy~ come over I'll make that for ya.
Micky~ sure, for you and with your butt always on that bike I'm sure no way that's getting big.
