Baked Banana Fritters

By srumbel

These baked banana fritters are super easy to whip up and can be warm from the oven on your plate in 30 minutes! It didn’t take long before the kitchen smelled like banana bread, and I was dipping these fritters in a simple confectioner’s sugar glaze. I say in the instructions to allow the glaze to cool before serving. Of course, I couldn’t wait, and it wasn’t long before I was digging into warm banana fritters covered with a gooey glaze! If you find yourself slightly impatient, grab a glass of milk or mug of coffee and dig in. You won’t be disappointed either way!

Ingredients

• For the Fritters
• 3/4 C white whole wheat flour
• 3/4 C all-purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in bananas until combined.
Drop by heaping tablespoon full onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
While fritters are cooling, prepare glaze. Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Add up to an additional tablespoon milk to reach desired consistency.
Dip tops of fritters in glaze. Allow glaze to harden and serve.
