Banana Fritters

Banana Fritters

Most of us have seen the recipe for 2 eggs/1 banana pancakes on the Internet somewhere. I have tried that recipe and found it somewhat wanting, so I have updated a banana fritter recipe. I think you will like it!

I froze my overripe bananas. I peeled them, broke them into pieces and froze them in zip lock bags. This isn't necessary, but it's useful if you don't want to make the fritters at the same time the bananas need to be used. After thawing, I drained them in a metal strainer. 

This resulted in about 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana. 

Add: 

1/2  cup ground golden flax seed 

1/3 cup of coconut flour 

4 eggs 

2 tablespoons of cinnamon 

2 teaspoons vanilla 

Small amounts of cloves, nutmeg or cardamom can also be used. (1/2 teaspoon amounts) 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1/4 cup chia seeds 

1. Mix very thoroughly - a mixer is probably the best way. 

2. The batter needs to sit for a bit to let the chia seeds absorb moisture. Anywhere from a half hour to overnight is fine. If the batter becomes a little too thick, add some coconut milk (any kind of milk would work) to thin it a bit. The batter should be fairly thick, though. 

3. Drop small spoonfuls in hot coconut oil and then cook over medium low heat. Little discs about 2 inches in diameter is what you are aiming for. Lots of surface area is the key to good flavor and texture.

Eat them with any toppings you like: Butter, syrup, fresh fruit, cooked fruit, chopped nuts, coconut, jam, etc. Some people might like them without any toppings.

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.    Richard Bach
