Notes
Alternatively to banana. Feel free to use plantains if you don't have any bananas to hand.
Overripe bananas. Ideally you want to use bananas that are overripe for this recipe. Bananas where the skin is more black than yellow. This is because overripe bananas are naturally sweet so this lessens the chance of having to add too much sweetener.
You can omit using any sweetener if you want to focus getting natural occurring sugars.
Mash the bananas. Use either a potato masher or blender to breakdown the bananas into a more pureed consistency. This will form the foundation for the banana fritter batter.
Oil usage. In order to use as little oil as possible use a very durable non stick skillet.
As the batter cooks it will spread slightly before it turns golden. Use a egg lifter to flip the fritter over the other side and repeat.
