Instead of throwing away those ripe bananas, create these air fryer banana fritters using common home ingredients. This dish is elevated with a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top, then serve right away. The best thing about these healthful banana fritters is that they are air-fried rather than deep-fried. But if you’re searching for a dish that calls for deep frying, try these Jamaican banana fritters. I’ll also add that the air fryer works perfectly for various recipes including fruits like these dehydrated strawberries.
Ingredients:
- One cup of flour and four ripe bananas
- Two teaspoons of baking powder
- One-half teaspoon baking soda
- One-fourth teaspoon salt
- half teaspoon cinnamon
- One teaspoonvanilla extract
- two tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste
- one-fourth cup milk
Directions:
- For five minutes, preheat the air fryer to 365 degrees F
- Use a fork to mash the bananas in a bowl.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- To the bowl containing the dry ingredients, add the mashed bananas, brown sugar, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla essence. Blend all ingredients until well combined.
- After inserting a parchment paper liner, coat the air fryer with cooking spray made without propellants, such as coconut oil.
- To ensure that the banana fritter batter dollops don’t clump together after cooking, space them out on the air fryer using a tbsp or cookie scoop. Until all of the batter is used, you will need to cook them in separate batches.
- Cook for 7 to 8 minutes at 365 degrees Fahrenheit, or until the fritters are a deep golden brown. Keep your balance.
- After taking the banana fritters out of the air fryer, quickly sprinkle powdered sugar or honey on top and serve.
Notes:
- For this dish, use very ripe bananas.
- Because air fryer cooking speeds might vary, be sure to check on the fritters at the five-minute mark to make sure they don’t burn.
- Cook the fritters in small groups of around 4-5 at a time rather than packing the air fryer to capacity.
We used a 5.3 QT Ultenic Air Fryer to make this dish.
Consult your air fryer’s instructions frequently.
