Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
10 minutes
Servings:
12 fritters
Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (or other neutral oil)
Directions
  1. Add 1–2 inches of oil to a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Heat on medium-high until it reaches 360–375 F.
  2. While the oil heats, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and shredded coconut in a medium bowl until combined.
  3. In a separate, large bowl, beat together the mashed bananas, eggs, brown sugar, and coconut milk until smooth.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Once the oil is hot enough, use a large cookie scoop to drop 4–5 scoops of batter into the hot oil.
  6. Cook, turning as necessary, until the fritters are golden brown, about 3–4 minutes.
  7. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon to a paper towel–lined plate. Continue in batches of 4–5 fritters until all the fritters are cooked.
  8. Let fritters cool for about 5 minutes, then top with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, if desired. Serve warm.
