לביבות בננה
רכיבים
- 1 גָבִיעַ Self-Rising flour - (הערה 1)
- ¼ גָבִיעַ סוכר קנים לא מזוקק - add sweetness to the dough (note 2)
- ¾ גָבִיעַ חלב שקדים - (הערה 3)
- 2 כפות Light Avocado Oil - (note 4) + 1/3 cup to fry the fritters
- 4 בננות - firm, yellow not too soft
Optional for flavors
- 1 כפית תמצית וניל
- 1 כפית קינמון
To cook and serve
- ¼ גָבִיעַ אבקת סוכר
הוראות
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients: self-rising flour, sugar, and cinnamon, if used. Whisk to combine.
- Whisk in almond milk, oil, and vanilla extract, if used. Stir until thick.
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half to get two pieces of banana. Slice each piece lengthwise into 3-4 long pieces of banana. Don't slice them too thin, as you don't want them to break when dipped into the fritter batter.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium high-heat with 3-4 tablespoons of avocado oil.
- Gently place the piece of batter-dipped banana in the oil, using two forks to not burn your hand as you release it onto the pan. Make sure the oil comes around the batter to fry the fritter nicely all around, adding more oil if needed.
- Add more fritters in the pan following the same instructions above for dipping the banana pieces and frying. Make sure you do not put too many fritters at once in the pan or they can stick to each other, or the temperature of the oil drop and they don't fry as well.
- Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook them on the other side for 1 minute until fully cooked in the middle.
- Transfer to a cooling rack, add more oil to the pan and repeat the steps above until you run out of batter. I made 15 fritters.

מרכיבים ותחליפים
You only need 5 ingredients to make these delicious fritters. Here’s how to pick them.

- קמח תופח – To make the crumb light. You can create your own by combining all-purpose flour and baking powder (2 tsp per cup). For a gluten-free option, use my ממיר ללא גלוטן, but don’t forget the baking powder. Almond flour or oat flour wouldn’t work.
- סוכר – You can omit it if your bananas are very ripe or use unrefined sugar like coconut sugar.
- חלב שקדים – To add moisture to the dough. Other plant-based milks like soy or oat milk, or even dairy milk, work well.
- Light Avocado Oil – For a soft batter and for frying. Any neutral-flavored oil can be used in the batter, but avocado oil is my favorite for frying due to its high smoke point.
- בננות – I turn them into long strips. I like firm, ripe (yellow) bananas over green (not ripe enough) and dark-skin bananas as they tend to melt when cooking.

הטיפים של קארין
Let me share a few more tips for perfect fritters.
- עקביות הבלילה – Ensure the batter is thick enough to coat the banana slices without being too heavy.
- Small Batch Frying – Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and prevent the fritters from sticking together.
- Crispy Edges – Fry the fritters until golden brown on both sides for a crispy texture.
- ניקוז שמן עודף – Place the cooked fritters on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- זיווגי טעמים – Serve the fritters with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt.
- תוספות פירות – You can add other fruit to the batter, like small pieces of apple.
- וריאציות תבלינים – Add a pinch of cardamom or ginger to the batter for a different flavor.
- טפטוף שוקולד – Drizzle melted dairy-free chocolate over the cooked fritters.







love your recipes there so good
תודה רבה לך!
Not sure why this won’t work with gluten-free flour!
It ‘works’ it simply doesn’t taste good to me, it’s gummy. My recipes doesn’t use eggs which is often what makes gluten-free baked goods not gummy or dense.
how is it three ingredients?
The recipe says 5-ingredient, not 3 ingredients. Enjoy.
