Ingredients

1 cup Self-Rising flour (note 1)
¼ cup Sugar add sweetness to the dough (note 2)
¾ cup Almond Milk (note 3)
2 tablespoons Light Avocado Oil (note 4) + 1/3 cup to fry the fritters
4 Bananas firm, yellow not too soft

Optional for flavors

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

To cook and serve

¼ cup Powdered Sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

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.

Notes

Note 1: You can make 1 cup of self-rising flour by stirring 2 teaspoons of baking powder in 1 cup of all-purpose flour. I didn't try this recipe with all-purpose gluten-free flour and I'm not sure it will work. Almond flour or oat flour will not work.

Note 2: The recipe works without sugar if you think the bananas are sweet enough to your liking.

Note 3: Any milk works, like soy milk, oat milk, or dairy milk if you use dairy in your kitchen.

Note 4: Any low-flavor oil works, but avocado oil is the best choice to fry the fritters as it has a high smoke point. If you swap avocado oil for other oil in the batter, keep avocado oil for a healthier frying option.

Note 5: Make sure the bananas are yellow, not green. You want sweet bananas but not overripe bananas or they are too soft and fall apart in the batter.

Storage: Store the fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Rewarm them in the air fryer at 320 F or in a warm pan.
