    Banana Fritters

    9
    By Sarah Hatfield on June 3, 2018 Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes, Kids Can Cook, Sarah's Recipes

    With so many hungry people in the house, I rarely have overripe bananas. But I did end up with two the other day. And since my favorite banana muffins recipe uses three, I made a batch of banana fritters for breakfast instead.

    Easy Banana Fritters Recipe! Dairy-free and Kid-friendly (Gluten-free option)

    These tiny pancakes are a recipe of my mom’s. They are very delicate and have almost a crepe-like texture. My mom always served them with cinnamon sugar, but we like them with powdered sugar. One batch is enough for a light breakfast for four. They cook up quickly and couldn’t be simpler to make. Just be sure to keep them on the small side, so they don’t fall apart.

    These fritters also make a great kids can cook recipe. Children can help mash the bananas, mix the ingredients, and cook the fritters (with supervision depending on age). Older kids and teens can make breakfast for everyone in just a few minutes.

        Didn’t work for me, I had to add a couple more tablespoons of flour as my fritters fell apart when trying. The fried banana slop I made in the first batch still tastes good though.

          I’m glad adding more flour worked for you, Jay. As bananas vary in size, sometimes a little more flour is needed.

        Such an nice idea! I have some frozen ripped bananas in my fridge for a week and don’t have any idea using them, maybe I try your recipe! Looks tasty!

        Do you think ots possible to use a sub for the egg in this recipe? My daughter is allergic.

          Hi Mindi, I think it’s possible, although I haven’t tried it. You might try just the bananas with a little less flour, or try an egg substitute since the recipe calls for only one egg. Please report back!

            Sarah I have heard that some chia seeds pre soaked IN water can substitute for an egg

              Thank you, Cathy! I have tried that technique in other recipes but not in these fritters. I’ll have to do that sometime, or maybe someone else will try and report back!

          A chia egg might work well. Here is our guide to egg subs -> https://www.godairyfree.org/food-and-grocery/how-to-substitute-eggs-vegan
          For this type of recipe, you’ll want to use one of the options that aids in binding to some extent.
