Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams rolled oats
- 30 grams brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 60 ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (melted)
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., powdered sugar or maple syrup)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Add the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. Mix until you achieve a thick batter consistency. If the mixture is too wet, add a small amount of additional flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more milk.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to create fritter shapes.
Bake the fritters in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden on the edges and firm to the touch.
Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup before serving. Enjoy your oven-baked banana fritters warm or at room temperature!
