Banana Fritters (Frugal Food Thursday)
Welcome to Frugal Food Thursday! If you have a great frugal recipe, please link up below!
Last Saturday night, as I was planning to make dinner, I noticed that I had some bananas that were spotting and starting to go bad.
Usually if I have one or two bananas going bad, I'll make Oven-Baked Banana French Toast, Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal, or Banana Whole Wheat Pancakes. But this time I had 6, count 'em, 6 bananas to use up. Too many for any of those recipes.
So I decided to make some banana fritters!
Banana fritters are sort of like pancakes, but have less batter and more bananas. And they are fried, not just cooked in a greased skillet.
I served the fritters with some leftover honeydew and cantaloupe, and because this recipe is a little low on protein, I made sure the kids each had a big glass of milk with it.
Here's the recipe:
BANANA FRITTERS
6 overripe bananas
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup canola oil
In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the sugar, eggs, and flour, and mix until the ingredients are incorporated.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the batter in spoonfuls - fritters should be about 2-3 inches in diameter. Cook until the edges are browned. Flip the fritters over and cook the other side until browned. Remove to a plate covered with paper toweling to allow oil to be absorbed. Place fritters on a metal baking sheet in a 250 degree oven until ready to serve.
Repeat until all of the batter is used up, adding oil to the skillet as necessary.
Makes about 24 fritters.

Hi All! I linked a post I wrote on "Join a Buying Club". I included what a buying club is, how they work and how to find one. It's been a time-, money-, and life-saver for me!!!
I never heard of banana fritters but I suppose they would be good. Thank you so much for the recipe and thank you for hosting a party.
Happy Thursday! I'm sharing a recipe for Minty Chocolate Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Freckles! It is cheaper to make your own ice cream, and so much healthier because you get to control the ingredients. This ice cream is better than any mint-chocolate chip I've ever had. Thanks for hosting!
