When your bananas develop brown spots on their peels and may be past your preference for eating raw, there are a few ways to transform them into something new and delicious. Before you default to a batch of banana bread, consider using your overripe bananas to make a battered, deep-fried, beignet-like dessert.

Ayesha Curry tells Food & Wine how she makes delicious crispy banana fritters to pair with ice cream or chocolate sauce. Simply bake your overripe (or ripe) bananas in a 350 degree F oven with their peels on for 15 minutes, then peel, mash, and mix them with milk, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.

Finally, form the mixture into ¼ cup patties or balls and batter and deep-fry them in a pan of oil before setting them on a paper towel to dry. Alternatively, you can cut whole bananas into 2 inch-long pieces to batter and fry, and either way, the fritters pair deliciously with confectioners’ sugar or a chocolate rum sauce.
