Ingredients

  • 3 Ripe Bananas
  • 1 cup Rice Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy)
  • 2 cups Oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon Sugar (for dusting)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium mixing bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the 1 cup of rice flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) to the mashed bananas. Stir all ingredients together with a spoon or whisk until the batter is well combined and smooth, with no dry spots of flour remaining.
  2. 2Pour the 2 cups of oil for frying into a large heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 175°C, using a kitchen thermometer to confirm.
  3. 3Carefully drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the banana fritter batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, using a slotted spoon or tongs to turn them, until they are evenly golden brown and appear crispy on all sides.
  4. 4Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried fritters from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Immediately sprinkle the warm fritters generously with the 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar.
  5. 5Serve the Gluten-Free Banana Fritters warm.

Substitutions
