There’s a thing in my house that when you have ripe old bananas either you make banana bread or banana fritters. These delicious tasty treats can be eaten morning, noon, or night, as a snack or as dessert. These fritters are so easy to make and will satisfy any craving you may have.
So if you have a few of these bananas lying around your hose… don’t toss them, put them to GREAT use! Enjoy!
Peel and mash the ripe bananas. Beat egg, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Next, blend egg mixture with mashed bananas.
Make sure it is all incorporated.
Then sift flour and baking powder into the banana/egg mixture.
Mix it all together. If the batter seems to be too thick add a little milk… I added about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of milk.
Add oil to a frying pan and place on medium high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the banana fritter batter into the hot oiled frying pan.
Flip when you see the edges starting to get brown and golden.
Lastly, combine cinnamon and sugar together to create your cinnamon sugar. This is used to sprinkle on top of the fritters once they are finished cooking and still hot.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.

These were good. I used whipping cream, because I have some I need to use before it goes bad. My batter ended up too thick, causing the fritters to be too thick to cook through before the outsides burned. Next time, I’ll use skim milk and maybe some water to thin the batter. Great taste, good smell to the house after making and a great way to use ripe bananas! Thank you!
I made them & they were pretty good. I drizzled some chocolate on them with the cinnamon & sugar mixture. But mostly they tasted like banana pancakes. I suggest adding the extra milk because mine were very thick & it was hard to get the inside fully cooked.
Looks good!
They look like the little pancakes my mom used to make when I was little. I’ll try them out for sure next week!
I can just use normal bananas right? Don’t have to use special baking bananas?
I think these are also called banana pancakes.
Yes they can be called that but in Jamaica we call them fritters.
Hi, this is a great post! Thanks..

[…] 2. Jamaican Banana Fritters […]
I just made these for my husband(he is jamaican) and he loved them he said they reminded him of the ones his aunt made him has a child in Jamaica. Thank you 😉
I am so happy that he liked them and that they reminded him of home… 🙂
I just added this to my recipe binder. Brilliant!
These look delicious. Will have to try them!
These look delicious!
Wow … what a great idea. I can not wait until my bananas turn brown. 🙂
My bananas are always brown and banana bread was getting old. Thanks for the inspiration to try something new!
Wow, these look great! It’s always around summer when my bananas go ripe too fast (I guess it’s because of the heat) so this is what I’ll be doing with them, thank you!
[…] I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. I went into this with no idea what fritters were, or what made the recipe […]

[…] Ha! I know what you’re thinking…she’s finally lost it…yes, I’ve gone bananas. As much as that may be true, I just wanted to share this great recipe I found to use up those overripe bananas. If you’re like me, you always have a couple of bananas turning a nice shade of black on your counter. Well, what to do besides banana bread? How about Banana Fritters? Mine are not pretty enough to show you but they sure are delicious. Here’s the recipe from That’s So Yummy: […]

How many fritters does this recipe make?
How much does this make?
It makes around 20 fritters maybe a little more maybe a little less. Just depends on the batter.
I just made them with some substitutions. I used 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt instead of milk, 1/2 cup agave nectar in place of sugar, and coconut oil to fry. I got 10 large and delicious fritters from that batter. Yum.
Just had these for breakfast! I made a couple of changes to make sure they came out fluffy. The result was so delicious! Thank you.
My 9 year old wants MORE and MORE and MORE !!!!! They are just SOOO moorish !!!!
I have made these in the past and LOVE Them- now need to be gluten free :-/ any idea of what flour to use ? anyone…
These look great, looking forward to trying some with a big dollop of ice cream 😀
This dish is mouth watering one! Surely going to try it out..!
Is nutmeg necessary?
Great recipe! I’d usually toss out bananas that looked that ripe! But I guess I could use them in these. They look so good in the photos 😀
Tried these today deep fried with a Cool Daddy fryer. Very tasty and easy to prepared.. Pics are great and made this reciepy worth trying.
This recipe is sooo good! Thank you for sharing… I even posted this on my blog: http://thenotsocreativecook.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/jamaican-banana-fritters/

How fun and this sounds delicious!
I almost always have overripe bananas waiting to be used up – what a great use of them these fritters would be!
Oh my! these look amazing!
This is awesome! I usually freeze ripe bananas and make smoothies with them – now I have something new to try! Thanks!
Love these, they sound sweet and delicious!
I know what I’m making next time I have ripe bananas! Fritters!
Boy do these fritters ever sound divine!
Thank you for this – I just realized I have way more bananas in my freezer that I could use to make these delicious fritters!
Bookmarking- I have a bunch of bananas, and I couldn’t decide what to make….now I have a recipe!
I always have bananas sitting on the counter, in various degrees of turning black. Now I have a fantastic new way to use them up. Many thanks!
I want these! Sound so delicious and I think I might even have most of the ingredients on hand. What a clever recipe idea! Thanks!
Mmm… kinda of like banana pancakes… which makes me think of the Jack Johnson song, but I digress.
This reminds me of a recipe my mom used to make when we were little. So good!
