Carefully place the dough-wrapped bananas into the hot oil, a few at a time. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Drain the Fritters:
Once the fritters are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 5: Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar
Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow dish, mix the sugar and cinnamon powder to your taste. This sweet and warm combination will add the perfect finishing touch to your fritters.
Coat the Fritters:
While the fritters are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are fully coated. The warmth of the fritters helps the sugar stick better.
Step 6: Serve
Garnish and Serve:
Serve the banana fritters warm. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle additional cinnamon-sugar on top for presentation. These fritters pair wonderfully with coffee, tea, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Cooking Tips
Use Firm Bananas:
Choose bananas that are firm and slightly underripe for this recipe. Overripe bananas may become too mushy during frying and lose their shape.
Watch the Oil Temperature:
Maintain the oil temperature around medium heat to ensure the fritters cook evenly. If the oil is too hot, the outside will brown too quickly while the inside remains uncooked.
Customize the Filling:
Feel free to experiment with different fillings. Try stuffing the fritters with fruits like apples or pears, or add a bit of chocolate or peanut butter for a twist on flavor.
Double-Coating:
For an extra crispy texture, you can double-coat the fritters in the cinnamon-sugar mixture: once while they are warm and again after they’ve cooled slightly.
